This is so incredible!

Twenty amputee kids from across the country get to go to a special camp each year — it's called the Wounded Warrior Amputee Softball Team's Kids Camp in Louisville, Kentucky and it's exactly what it sounds like! AMAZING!

The Wounded Warrior Amputee Softball Team is made up of military members who have lost limbs and so their kids camp is all about giving back and helping others.

They don't just teach disabled kids how to play softball, they want to imbue them with their motto:

This is so messed up!

Usually we're totally for the U.S. government, but we cannot abide by what they are doing in this particular case!

Sources are saying that 1,200 dogs who guarded U.S. troops during war have been euthanized by the U.S. military all because they were labeled as “too dangerous” to be adopted by civilians and/or be used in law enforcement.

Also, according to U.S. Air Force reports given to Congress, between 2001 and 2005 alone there have been 16 dogs that were killed because their military usefulness no longer served a purpose.

And out of 2,500 military dogs worldwide,

This is so incredibly awful, we don't even know where to start.

276 Nigerian schoolgirls were kidnapped from a secondary school in the village of Chibok, northeast Nigeria, and now an Islamist militant group called Boko Haram has claimed responsibility for the mass abductions.

Talk about sci-fi in real life!! This is SO freaking cool!!!

Thanks to a super smart team of researchers at the University of Michigan, night vision technology is about to get A LOT more accessible!

Prior to this breakthrough, night vision could only be used with that clunky, huge goggle contraption that you see in movies, but now, thanks to Zhaohui Zhong and his team, they have made it super thin aka it'll be much easier to integrate it into normal things!

Like contact lenses!

How cool would that be!?! Sure, they'd probably mostly be used for the military, but, imagine having them to walk home late at night!

If an attacker were sneaking up on someone, then they'd totally be able to have forewarning and fend them off!!

But, it gets even better because that's not all the tech could be used for!

This is just AWFUL!

A man named David Betancort, a.k.a. 2014's frontrunner for meanest meanie who ever did live, has been arrested for allegedly committing a crime so heart-wrenchingly horrific that it pains our soul to write about!!!

The 21-year-old Southern California resident stands accused of stealing cash from a group of cookie-selling Girl Scouts! Apparently the dude just straight up took the tip jar from the cookie-selling stand outside of a supermarket last weekend and tried to drive off!!!

But, wait, IT GETS WORSE!!!

We know what you're thinking — how could it? We're talking about a real life cookie monster who allegedly stole about $40 from from young girls!

Well, as it turns out, the tips David stands accused of swiping weren't even for the Girl Scouts!!! They tips were

Like Wall Street CEOs & used car salesmen, vending machines are NOTORIOUS for stealing money from the hungry and the destitute!

And there's a vending machine in Milford, Iowa that's apparently worse than most!!!

Veteran and forklift operator Robert McKevitt wasn't having it, though! He stuck a dollar in the aforementioned vending machine at his warehouse and waited patiently for his carmel-drizzled, milk chocolate-coated Twix bar.

It. Never. Came.

The 27-year-old described his thought process:
