Those soldiers won't re-grow limbs.. they will be the very soldiers who will then be termed as "needy". "greedy" and "users of entitlement programs"..
Their future job prospects a severely limited. Their families (a LOT of them) will be stressed to the breaking point.
When a 24 year old Daddy comes home with no legs, his children are gonna be in for a rough time..and maybe the 22 yr old mom might not be able to accept the fact that she will now be part-Mom, part-nurse/advocate.
The parents of soldiers who might have had a leisurely retirement ahead of them will not be able to count on the help of their grown son/daughter...instead they may be caretakers of their injured child for life..
War-injured are always "left behind" once the "rah-rah...go team" stuff ends.. they are a legacy to mistakes made..
