    An American army doctor who served in the Vietnam War has returned an arm he amputated to its owner, a Vietnamese soldier, 47 years after taking it.

    Dr Sam Axelrad, who flew to Vietnam to meet the amputee, took the arm bones home to Houston from Vietnam in 1966 after his colleagues boiled the flesh and reconstructed the bones to give him as a souvenir.

    So ...he cut off someone's arm, took it to America, he held onto it <pun intended> and brought it back, having located the owner some 43 years later.

    The guy isn't ****ing scary-weird at all.
