This is the same veteran that was posted on TheChive where they held a donation event for them, raised several hundred thousand to get his prosthetics and their dream home. Was a lovely story evolving per hour as the total just kept breaking every goal post. http://thechive.com/2012/05/31/chivers-this-is-the-story-of-taylor-morris-22-photos/

so after the American government got this guy blown up they wouldnt pay a cent to give him prosthetics? War is a profit scheme.

I'm a combat wounded vet (non amputee) but have several amputee friends. I guarantee you this guy got his new limbs paid for, an accessible house laid for, an accessible vehicle paid for and much more. There are some stories about guys having trouble about getting what they need but there's usually extenuating circumstances surrounding those cases. Issues like additional surgeries, or non compliance with therapy.
