      You´ve got personal issues, unhappy with your life because it sucks? Saying thank you to the military is a sign of respect and all that ost people can do. Coming to a military video where a guy lost all 4 limbs and telling other people to fuck off blah blah blah does nothing but disrespect the military and all that they do for your dumb ass. You don´t send your children to war, they grow up and choose to do it. You are trying to make the guy whos aid than ykou look bad, meanwhile who are you, definitely not anyone who did anything for his country, you do nothing more than waste your time online writing nonsense nobody cares to hear; much like when you speak to your family and friends and people in public, I assume nobody wants to hear the crap that comes out of your mouth. You are what we military call scum, people who bitch and whine instead of appreciating everything the military has done for you. I didn´t serve for 20 years for people like you, I served for people like Victoria who deserve a good life. You live in the usa and therefore have a very good life, yet you sound like an ignorant fuck who needs to be slapped around some. I have an idea; go to the military yourself, learn to respect and learn to be a man instead of a coward behind a computer screen. I doubt you are man enough but as you are not than next time just keep your mouth shuit - nobody wants to see or hear an idiot WE risked out lives for.

A LITTLE RESPECT SOMETHING YOU ARE DEFINITELY SHORT! I know there are many countries that need help, but someone who has lost both their legs and arms IS NOT NOTHING! you have to realize how he felt. Relearning everything is no easy task. YOU MUST ACKNOWLEDGE THAT HE HAS STANDED! BIT of respect yes, you are short of that RESPECT!

      I REALLY don't understand that way of thinking. Your way of thinking is (I think, anyway) "I lost my left leg. This person has lost more busy parts than me. This person has a right to complain, I do not." So what of there's someone who lost a toe, due to gangrene, due to diabetes. They see a video of someone (who has proper health care and support) who has lost one leg. What if they think the same as you? "Oh, I only lost a toe. I have no right to complain, this person has more problems than me". What if someone lost four limbs, has PTSD from being sexually abused as a child and has stage four cancer? Would the person in the video not have a right to complain?

      With the way robotic prosthetics are going it is very possible that he will have robotic legs that are better than human legs before he dies and robotic arms that are close to par with the human arm. We have legs pretty figured out, but there is so much articulation in the hands, wrist, elbow and shoulder that we are a bit behind on them. But progress is ever present no matter the situation. At his age he will definitely see worth in sticking it out.
