#1 "lightly maimed"?

Who writes that crap?

Lightly maimed
Moderately maimed
Heavily maimed
Completely maimed.

And the 18 month old baby in the same sentence?
Interview the medic about the debridements. You do know what debridements are dont you ? You do that with X-rays, tweezers and probes, and 2% spray Lidocaine.

Unless you are a Palestinian, then you do it with a camera and a loud drum.

A Grad is a 1960's technology Soviet 122mm. Nine foot Screaming Meemie rocket fired from the back of a truck and then 20 seconds later they boogey outa there. Hamas fires them at civilians and then runs like hell. Moslem values kind of weapon. Its gives moral scope to Kill the Jewzzzz for every red blooded Arab who wants to get his "respect" back.

You come to expect it from Arabs. They are that sort of people. "Grad" in Russians translates out as "Hi! there."

It's called a 'translator', a wonderful application that adds a slightly sardonic touch to any article.

As for "who writes that crap", it's the same thing I say every time I read your posts - at least the ones that aren't redacted.

#3 If you hang your mouse over the light gray line under the text the browser will tell you what the original text was. If it doesn't, let me know.

Curiously enough, I have a passing knowledge of debridement, from my days driving an ambulance and working toward a paramedic certification. Doc Steve and some of the other real doctors that hang around here could describe the procedure in more detail than I could, though.

Град is pretty generic. It's the BM-21 truck-mounted multiple-launched rocket system or it's the M-21OF rocket itself, which in Paleostine is usually fired one at a time, sitting on the ground and aimed using the equivalent of a forked stick. That was the usual method of launching them at us in northern Quang Tri province when I was there, though I understand they brought the trucks south in later years. By now (at least outside the former Soviet Union) it's become a generic for most any rocket of the approximate same size and purpose, just like "Katyusha" is used for most any former Soviet vehicle-launched system.

Thank you for sharing your encyclopedic knowledge with us.

I'm putting that one on my Snark of the Day Ballot.

As for "Curiously enough, I have a passing knowledge of debridement", you're an interesting man, Mr. Pruitt.
