You cannot believe HOW SMALL this thing was.
2mm in diameter is .078125" or 5/64" (a tad bigger than 1/16")
3mm is .12" (a tad smaller than 1/8")
and 1cm in length is NEGLIGIBLE
Seriously this is an utter disgrace. No wonder his original CO denied the PH request. This 'shrapnel' would have to 'grow up' TO BE a splinter.
My God, navel lint is bigger than this shrapnel. And the Rose Thorn reference is being way, way, WAY too generous. And a paper cut compared to this 'wound'... HA! That would be like open heart surgery in comparison.
And we thought Willard was shameless. This guy is beneath Klintoon! Kerry is pond-scum.
