FaCeS Of WaR / creepy yet incredible

I had no idea about the faces of war and watching this video opened my eyes and had me so interested to learn more about it. Its an absolute genius idea but at the same time really creepy. Its wonderful that they were able to help soldiers whose face had become disfigured due to the war have a mask made or several facial parts created to help restore their faces. As i watched this video reveal actual footage from the event  i began to want to learn more about this subject so i read the article as well and looked through many photos. the plastic surgeons who helped individuals with facial reconstruction tried to match a soldiers face as best as he could as how he looked before the war, which required tremendous amounts of time and effort. These masks for the facial disfigured help build soldiers confidence and restore their hope they had once had without feeling their self esteem lowered by their appearance. It was also known as the tin noses shop. Honestly though it interested me so much because i know that if i saw a man with is nose chopped off or his mouth deformed i would stare like many others would so the fact that this medical group from the hospital was able to help men not be so judged and looked at for who they were instead of what they looked like made all the difference to these men. Just throwing it out there but It does kind of remind me of some scary movies i have seen where the killers have deformed faces so at the same time its great for these soldiers of war its rather creepy looking at these men,
