There are a ton of pictures of WW1 soldiers who had similar injuries. This type of surgery is definitely very important for military.

  The Great War channel covered this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYPtmFZqKC0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYPtmFZqKC0 Just like the article, it isn't an easy video to watch.

    When I was at German military we saw similar videos for our first aid training. The video opened my eyes. In my view this should be required viewing for everyone to make sure they understand what war really is. With all the cool smart bombs, jet fighters and night vision goggles it's being portrayed as way too clean and fun.

      And with war-by-remotecontrol it gets ever closer to looking and feeling like a video game where you go home to your family after killing a bunch of people on the other side of the world.

        Killing still sounds too clean. People got burned badly, lost limbs or lost half their face.
