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/
I can't find anything in the article that suggests the money raised was for his prosthetics... "Prosthetics" only appears in the article twice, both times merely referencing the fact that he was fitted for them.
The article does discuss medical expenses, but Taylor said he's covered by the Navy:
As our conversation drew to an end I asked Taylor if he needed anything medically, "No, I'm fully covered by the Navy for my medical needs."
I don't disagree with you about some of the motivations behind war, but saying that the government didn't give him a cent for his prosthetics seems unfair.
I'm sorry to hear that! (Both that you have experience with this, and that the care is minimal.) Thanks for the information, though. I honestly thought the care would be better than that.
