I saw this recently as well. Are they missing anything important? I'm so freaking distracted, I cannot tell. Kudos to these brave men and the brilliant photographer. I'd buy them and the calendar they rode in on. FWIW, I really do not like tattoos, but in this case....I, um, don't even really notice those.

He lives like an hour from me. Totally have thought about volunteering for his non profit!
Eta the one in the photo by himself. I might have stalked his fb after seeing his photos.

This is wonderful work the photographer is doing. Photographing disabled soldiers to show they are very much still men and fierce.
I like the first photo best. Great angles and perhaps because he's not so young.

This also reminds me of many of the great story lines in the series Army Wives. One story line concerned a disabled soldier who one of the main characters had an affair with. In the beginning he was understandably sad about the prosthetic he had to now wear for the rest of his life, but before the end of the story line he was the confident man who was stronger than his former able bodied self that chose to become a soldier.
(Army Wives . I learned quite a bit about the military and how things work by watching the 7 seasons.)

I think that one model is a great choice. The photographer himself looks pretty good too.

This veteran, Noah Galloway, (Army - served & was wounded in Iraq) was on Dancing with the Stars a season or two ago.
He rarely wears his prosthetic arm - he finds it too uncomfortable & cumbersome:

Dayum, my office is usually freezing. After looking at theses photos, not so much. Whatta buncha hotties! And furthermore, I hope these vets are honored for their service. I'd personally like to hang a medal or two on each of them. And they could show up in their birthday suits. I'd find a place to put those medals, all right.

Have to be the wet rag and just point out if the genders/pictures were reversed there's be hell's fury going on.
Honestly, while I admire the ummm physique I would like a little more clothing.
Yea, I'm a prude.

I'm normally rather conservative myself. And I think if these guys were ordinary hunks, it might be a yawn. But I think what makes them attractive is who and what they are in spite of their losses. Basically, you don't notice the missing bits first, if at all, because the rest is quite divine. And FWIW, if this photog would care to make a calendar of the battle-scarred women of war in similar states of undress, I for one would be at least curious enough to look at it. Might not be drooling over it, but I'd look and admire anyway.

Like I said, I'm a prude but you can have a hot hunk calendar with a bit of fabric involved. Personally, I find it more ... tantalizing to leave (more than) a bit to the imagination .

I agree with that last line. But just in this case, because of the cause, I'll let it go (and enjoy the view).

It all depends on the clothes. Naked vs Speedo, naked vs board shorts, naked vs not a very good butt. Lol!
If they're really wanting to show off all the muscles then naked vs Speedo. But I like the side stuff not using a sock like thing like some of the photos
