      All the teachers are injured and in need of prosthetics and assisting devices, all of them served.

      As Rico’s dad said, it should be illegal to use schools as recruiting centers.

        And while they all need a prosthetic, none of them have one unless it specifically pertains to something that will benefit their military job.

        The front desk guy needs 2 legs and an arm, but only has an arm and is in a wheel chair. The arm helps his job stamping new recruits in. The legs serve no purpose but to make his life better, but unnecessary for the job.

        Ricos teacher needs an arm, but while he’s teaching, he doesn’t have one. Once he’s back on active duty, he’s allowed a prosthetic arm because it helps the Federation. He doesn’t require an arm to teach.

        If it’s not required for your specific position, you don’t deserve to be made whole. It’s a pretty fucked up society overall, and not nearly enough people understand that the humans aren’t the good guys.
