Time
Time's Michael Weisskopf says he felt mangled, pitiful, disoriented and scared after losing his hand when he tossed a grenade out of his humvee in Iraq. "I was anxious about my ability to work again with one hand and to parent my children. ...Mostly, however, I was angry at myself for getting in the wrong humvee, releasing the grenade too slowly, even grabbing it in the first place. Nothing would have happened if I hadn't picked it up. Why had I been acting like a cowboy? Why hadn't I just left the damn thing alone?"
