    I want that.

    My left arm was busted by the doc when I was born, I'm de facto cripple with my broken limb that simply doesn't work like a normal hand.
    For that sum of money I'd rather take that, no new car and a slightly smaller house and have my retard arm chopped off and replaced with a real arm.
    Though fuck USB and drones. I'll take extra armor and extra strength with mine.

    It's a real pain in the ass to be a cripple. Can't get good leverage in doggystyle, harder to pick up and carry people around and what's worst is that it's harder to use a two handed sword with a cripple arm as the 'strength arm'. Can't go the other way around either because it would suck even more badly as the 'precision arm'.

    It's America right so I can just walk up to Walmart and say "one bionic arm replacement please", hand over a brown envelope with 200k$ in it and they'll just throw an anesthetic needle on my spine right there on the counter and roll me to backroom where they'll grab one from a package and install it within an hour.
    "NEXT!"

    Dude, Deus Ex arms would be badass. Pack a 9mm in there too, pop out derringer style. (...I can only sympathize and say I wish it wasn't so for you. Best wishes always.)

    Funny you should post this, I have a bit of connection to the area. My assignment is actually to our base in Sentani (the last remaining portion of the Hollandia complex), in one of the pictures of the helicopter dropping the remains of the P-61 off you can see the light blue nose from one of our airplanes. Currently I'm waiting on a visa to head over there to fly out of that airport.

    The Hollandia complex included 3 main airfields all next to each other along with a small auxiliary strip, Hollandia (what the complex was named after), Cyclops (named after the mountains just between the complex and the ocean on the north side of the island of New Guinea), Sentani (named for the lake on the other side of the complex and the only remaining part of the complex that now serves as the airport for the region), and a smaller auxiliary field that from what I remember was so rough that the allies never used it after capturing the area. The name of the forth field is escaping me at the moment sadly. MacArthur's New Guinea campaign was intended to seize this complex and then use it as the main launching off point for recapturing the Philippines. He had a house built on part way up the south side of the Cyclops range overlooking the complex and lake but from what I've heard he only spent maybe two nights in it before moving on. A friend who grew up there says that the foundation is still there.

    Here are a couple of good maps of the area from the 3rd Attack Group's site, the first is a US reference for aircrews, the second shows the American assault of the area and the Japanese counter attacks along with eventual retreats.

    I was doing random research online for a military article and found this.

    I was born with it so I don't know what it's like to have "two right arms" but thanks!
    They're not yet available so there's time to save up!

    I've been to Reading. I actually met the major! That was fun. We talked about how he thought it was really important to have a healthy economy for the people in his town and for himself of course.

    During my stay I went to the local saloon and there was a scary fight there, I was really scared but then I gathered my courage and helped talk things down. The local sheriff was really happy for my help.

    Before I left I met with the major again and this time he had some investment tips for me but I turned them down because I didn't have much money to invest and I had heard that the mining business in question had some kind of problems with their production.

    I think the saloon was called Malamute Saloon, I remember it because I had a half malamute dog once.
