One of my best friends is an ex special forces amputee who actually signed up to be a lab rat... for surgical techniques and leg prosthetics.
It's worked out well for him in some ways, as he now competes in para triathlons and has gotten sponsors.
He's a tough mofo and knows how to navigate the system to a point, but dealing with the VA has still been a nightmare in
a hundred other ways. He's told me he's pretty sure they try and get people to kill themselves. The red tape and nightmares they put people through in order to get things they were promised is ridiculous.
