"Most stories about veterans focus on the difficult challenges many face, from unemployment and homelessness to the fact that more troops are living with severe injuries that ever before. But a new photo series focuses on their strength instead. The former soldiers pictured in the slide show above may be missing limbs, but they're also amazingly fit, resilient, and moving on with their lives." http://www.fastcoexist.com/3049049/these-powerful-and-hot-photos-of-amputee-veterans-show-strength-not-tragedy?utm_source=ps%20outbrain&utm_medium=paidcm&utm_campaign=ps101coexist&utm_content=coexist&cid=ps101coexist#5
Update: While the focus was intended to be on disabled vets, other folks who have faced similar challenges deserve recognition too.

Who knows? It was on a news page link that I just happened on and thought is was interesting. There are also bodybuilders who are amputees or otherwise physically disabled. One has to admire someone whose overcome these huge obstacles and moved forward with their lives rather than wallowing in self pity.
-
most people don't have tens of thousands of $$ for that kind of hardware. Most people just get a tap on the back and a free hat. You were saying about self pity?
and secondly..

Those fellows are all disabled vets with obvious disabilities. There are many more disabled vets whose disabilities aren't so visual but no less traumatic.

I removed your secondly because it is completely uncalled for.
More recent fully disabled vets in the U.S. have full access to "expensive" hardware, professional medical attention, pharmaceuticals and ongoing treatments. Perhaps it is different where you are. I am not saying these things are necessarily handed to them, they need to know how get what they need in a fairly complicated system. If they don't ask, they are often out of luck.

As a counterpoint to your suggestion that these guys are all gay, which in not relevant anyway. I'm posting some photos of disabled folks who may or may not be vets. As to their sexual preferences, I didn't ask. ;)

Thank god all these poor draftees are getting helped. Conscripted to fight and lose limbs in useless corporate wars!
-
Most of these photos are of disabled vets.

Surprised they never asked Navy Mike to pose for them!

Moron, amputees have it much easier. Less sets and training they have to do. Someone without legs never has to ever do legs. Someone without an arm never has to work that arm.
The leg press must be incredibly easy with one leg of titanium and one regular leg.

One might think you envy these folks. Are you saying you have it much harder?

Yes. You have to work much harder in the gym. Why would you work legs if you had two prosthetics? What would be the point? ???

You missed the point.

I know I would not want to change places with these folks.

So this is your way of reassuring yourself and making yourself feel better in that you are glad to not be one of them.
I see what you are doing.

I don't think this what I said. It isn't like these folks had a choice. They are admirable because they forged ahead. Why would I feel better than them? Your rationale seems a bit twisted.

Randy Tiner is not a disabled vet and lost his arm in a motorcycle crash.
He has his own successful business, a wife and kids. At one point he was sponsored by Gaspari.

That Randy is not a disabled vet makes no less admirable. Like some of the folks whose photos I have posted here and who are disabled vets, what he has accomplished is amazing.

I agree and he's also an awesome guy. I just saw him pictured in a disabled vets titled thread and he would not want that title/honor bestowed on him.
-
This seems like a weird stump fetish thread, not a vet thread. ;D

Just so you know, I qualified that not all the photos posted were of disabled vets. Google images is not that accurate, unfortunately.

That someone might think this occurred to me. It's not. It is about people overcoming adversity

Some people's disabilities aren't visible to others. This does not mean they are less disabled.
-
Looking at these photos and can't help but wonder, was it worth it?
Is the world a safer place now? You done the training, done the tour, maybe shot at a few sand apes, maybe you even killed one. Then comes the day of the IED and your life is changed forever.
Would they go back in time if it was to end in exactly the same way and do it all again?
I think I know the answer to that.
But anyway, inspiring, heroes <insert more flowery adjectives here> etc etc.
At least they're not wallowing in pity which is good.

Lets not forget getBig's own...

I admit, I was a total douche.
AndI would hit all those disabled women :P

however this guy will lose his left leg too if he keeps doing that ;D

It looks as if he's using about 115 lbs. That's not bad for doing squat with only one leg. Personally, I think leg presses would be a better choice. Of course he may be concentrating on his balance which wouldn't work with leg presses.

Your right about balance and it helps with walking with a prosthetic. I also know a guy that squats with his prosthetic.

Can someone end the pity party and post a pic of Kaitlyn Jenner so we can all see what real bravery and valor look like?

You really are an ignorant fuck. Sorry man - I get it - you feel fucked over because no one talks about how bad you had it getting the shit beat out of you all your life while being picked on for having those jumbo elf ears.
Well - you did get that looker Jeezbel - lol. Sorry I know that's out of line - that poor thing can't help it bless her heart.
Too chicken shit to serve - angry because you were the highschool retard but when you grew up you didn't "show em" by becoming successful..
So you try to drag others down to your status.
Carry on Adam.... If you need some cheddar call me and you can come wash my house or something
-

Prime - don't waste your time. These people are inspiring. Some weak minded fools are unable to show respect of give credit. Evidently Adam has such low self-esteem that he is unable to admire the courage of others because it magnifies his own self loathing thinking

This is worst than the Pedollius thread , Primemuscle you are a sick man.
-
Pretty strange fetish you got there, Primemuscle.
-
So this is your way of reassuring yourself and making yourself feel better in that you are glad to not be one of them.
I see what you are doing.
meet me buddy. I'm in southern California... not too hard to find, either.
feel free to PM me your phone number.
you know there's free apps like TextFree or Pringer for smartphones... so your coward-ass doesn't even need to use your own number.
i'll be waiting.... actually, I won't be waiting. because I know your bitch ass won't do a damn thing and you know deep down.. hell, not even deep down, it's right on the surface, that if you were dumb enough to meet up and call me a "cocksucking loser" to my face, getbig would never 'hear' from you sissy ass again.... or maybe they would, when they all get a good laugh outta seeing you on spankwire getting buttfucked by one of my 380lb clients/customers in exchange for a few kits of serostim. bitch.
kind regards, punk bitch. pm me.

Nasty, twisted, fetish thread.

Look to yourselves. Seems to me you are the twisted people. If you cannot view this thread as it was intended, which was to honor these folks for their courage and perseverance. They have overcome great obstacle's, forging ahead and reaching goals some non-disabled people have trouble doing. It would have never occurred to me that anyone could think of this thread as being an expression of some manner of fetish. That you would think this, is sick. :o

Interesting. In essence, we dishonor them by not lusting over their limbless nudes. I'll be damned.
Say, ever had a thought that didn't come from a Prius bumpersticker?

It was a bit disturbing yes.

It's like if Primemuscle wants this stuff to pass as admiration or something but we all know he's just lusting some cawk.

Think what you want. I makes no difference to me.
