"Moderate" Damage

This description of the latest suicide bombing should be read in its entirety; however, this quote about "moderate" wounds" is telling. This was an eye witness account by Bret Stephens, the editor of the Jerusalem Post.

Erik's wounds were described as "moderate." What that meant was that his knee-cap had been shattered and that he had sustained shrapnel wounds and vascular damage. He will spend between three and six months in recovery.
