Anderson underwent surgery to have part of his frontal lobe removed and it “went relatively well,” said Pollack, who was at the Tel Hashomer hospital in Tel Aviv to monitor the surgery.

We don’t need no steenking bulldozer.

It’ll be a miracle if he survives this. Getting hit in the bean with a 40mm round will crack your head open like a casaba melon being hit with a baseball bat.

Anderson's skull was fractured and some of the bone fragments entered his brain, Pollack said.

Anderson underwent surgery to have part of his frontal lobe removed and it "went relatively well," said Pollack, who was at the Tel Hashomer hospital in Tel Aviv to monitor the surgery.

So he has now had a lobotomy.

He will be quieter.

I would rather have a bottle in front of me,
than a pre-frontal lobotomy.
