LOSS OF LIMB NO LONGER MEANS FORCED DISCHARGE This apparently has been true for a while. General Franks who led the VII Corps in Desert Storm lost a leg in Vietnam. Was not easy for him to overcome but he did it. I hope the admin brings him back to work with Today's heros.

It doens't matter where a person sees Dubya: conservative, centrist, or
over-spending Republican...
the guy has compassion.
In full honesty, I've got to say that what I'm saying is from the mouth of
a never-served civilian.
But after seeing the CBS special about the three soldiers recovering at
WRAMC, one of them learning to walk with the use of a $100,000+ computerized
FULL leg prothesis...I can't help but think that someone like that, if they wished
to do a job fitting with their capabilities...why not keep their brains,
experience, and "institutional memory" in the military.
I bet there were more than a few guys at WRAMC smiling for the first time in a long
time when they heard this.
