Did I read that story correctly? More than 50% of injured soldiers required 3 or more artificial limbs. And 90% of injured soldiers have returned to combat? That can’t be right!
The paragraph between those two clarifies that “prosthetic devices” can include things like orthopaedic shoes. I’d assume that if someone does get, say, a leg amputated, then they’re in a wheelchair for a while and maybe have a brace on their other leg to help it handle being used more heavily while the patient gets used to using a prosthetic leg. That’s your three prosthetic devices there, even though there is only one limb amputated.
As for the 90% thing, though, I fully expect that that’s Shoigu lying. It’s Shoigu, after all
Thank you! My comprehension at 3am while my toddler screams because he doesn’t like sleep… Was not at its best
Are you in the Pacific Ocean?
It’s 100% correct 30% of the time!
It’s not 3 limbs but 3 prosthetic devices.
