This is portrayed as the future, but as is usual, the more things change the more they stay the same. What is your take on this? Have the nature of wounds and survival in the gulf wars changed the nature of robotics/ prosthetics? Are you affected personally?

Medical science is trying, which is a drastic improvement for those who have suffered serious injuries. Just think, it used to be wooden pegs for legs. Now they get computerized prosthesis. Many in the civilian community have benefited by the advancements in prosthetics for our war wounded.

Most of my British cousins are pacifists and my parents were pacifists having survived WWII in London Cpl Dennis F.. Living with irrational pacifists is very challenging; but, living with rational pacifists can be a great way to sharpen your debating skills.
I learned to take many things with the proverbial grain of salt. I love my cousins even though we disagree on many things.

Cpl Dennis F. - that is what happens with pain meds sometimes. You clearly wrote prosthetics and I read pacifists :-)
Living with prosthetics isn't too much different. While I was a teenager my atrophied testicle was replaced with a prosthetic it ripped its way out because my body rejected it. That happened twice. Right now I have a plastic d-ring holding my mitral valve together - I asked for a warranty from the Walter Reed cardiac surgeons and was told 0 to 10 years in March 2003.
