Military Amputees to Get New Rehab Center

A state-of-the-art rehabilitation center opening next year at Walter Reed Army Medical Center seeks to return more amputee soldiers to a place once thought impossible: the battlefield.

Besides treadmills and stationary bikes, the $10 million Military Amputee Training Center will have weapons simulators, a climbing and rappelling wall and military vehicle simulators to help soldiers adapt their prosthetics to driving tanks and trucks.

This is monstrous! These poor men and women need to be sent home to get on with their lives. To put them right back into combat is most callous, degrading and merciless act this nation has ever come up with. And I don't want to hear any bull**** about it being voluntary. Voluntary or not, it is monstrous!
