How to communicate properly with the military who received a disability

You can joke about iron feet. But on one condition in short. Ask "What happened?", "How did you get wounded?", "Did you kill?" But say "Get well!", "Hold on!" - It is not the norm. If a person wants to tell himself what happened. People who have lost their limbs are not sick, not all people with disabilities received a disability as a result of war. Watch with delight and gratitude - approx. The person feels it. Asking for a prosthesis is normal.

But only if you are really curious and you are ready to listen to it. Ask the prosthesis to just ask something, because you are uncomfortable - abnormal. You can joke about iron feet. But only if you are close and know what a person passes. These jokes should be permission. As Alexei said, who lost both legs: "I can. You are not. " Thank you - normal. Just approach and say, "Thank you. " Or apply a hand to the heart is a small gesture of respect that we need to learn. To offer money - abnormally.

Giving a souvenir or leaving something symbolic is normal. It's about respect. Money is humiliated. Want to help money - finish. To pull the baby by the hand as far from the person with a prosthesis is abnormal. Explain to the child that some parts of the body may be artificial - normal. This is part of our future. If we want to live for a long time, we will all have prosthetized body parts. I repeat this again - the absence of a limb does not make a person different. Does not make a person weaker.
