George Perez still feels the sweat between his toes when he exercises. He's still plagued with nagging cramps in his calf muscle. And sometimes, when he gets out of bed at night without thinking, he topples over.
Perez, 21, lost his leg to a roadside bomb in Iraq more than a year ago, but despite the phantom pains that haunt him, he says he is determined to prove to the Army that he is no less of a man -- and no less of a soldier.
"I'm not ready to get out yet," he says. "I'm not going to let this little injury stop me from what I want to do."
Good Show a lot more graphic then I thought it would be. For those who haven't seen the previews its a drama all about the Iraq war. It starts Wed on FX. But there showing it all night tonight on Direct TV. Channel 581 the channel says its a DVR station, so it might only be for the Tivo users.
