"Military Amputees Brian Frasure, a clinical prosthetist and world-class athlete, speaks to
the audience on the last day of the Military Amputees Advances Skills Training workshop
at Walter Reed Army Medical Center."

Seeing this sad photo reminded me of the one below from World War I. Truly, "those who
do not remember the past are doomed to repeat it".

This eerily reminded me of a scene in the movie War Inc. where the military amputees were giving a demonstration of how the prosthetics were made of the same materials that were used in the explosives. Scary.
