Something good can come out of a war

Because our soldiers' bodies are better protected, fewer are dying. Many of the wounded have lost a limb, so the VA has devoted a fair amount of resources to improving the lot of amputees. The latest is a motorized, computer-driven ankle and foot.



It's a hell of a price to pay but it's truly amazing the advances in prostheses that have taken place in my lifetime.
