Double-Amputee Walks Again with a Bluetooth Assist

When you think of Bluetooth, you probably think of a Bluetooth headset - you know, one of the ones that keep cutting out on you all the time and don't sound as good as a wired headset. Or perhaps you have a Bluetooth mouse.

In the case of Marine Lance Cpl. Joshua Bleill, Bluetooth is enabling him to walk.

Seriously, this Marine is doing all amputees a great service by testing this technology and overcoming the challenges of using Bluetooth communication in this fashion. The designers will probably be tweaking it for a while before it's put on the market, though.

Never mind the Bluetooth, I admire the guy for being able to smile and go on with his life. The same goes for his girlfriend that is still around.

My prayers are with him. I hope he will use his experience to convince the politicians to get our valuable men and women the HELL OUT OF IRAQ!
