I am not entirely convinced that Belarus is beginning to actually play nice. I am highly suspicious of their motivations. Though, I will concede that Lukashenko is astute enough to realize his people hate him, Poland is looking for an excuse to kick their ass, and his military is not in the...

I am curious if anyone has data on the recidivism/relapse rate for those found NCR who are released. Do the frequently go back off their meds and commit additional (violent) crimes?

I spent eight weeks as the Attending Officer in a murder trial where the defendant (CAF member) was seeking an NCR finding. The explanation I received from the Crown, was that only about 2% of all people seeking an NCR finding are successful. You have to be very seriously mentally ill for it to...

I wonder what level of readiness the Mercy & Comfort are kept at? Can they sail at the drop of a hat? Where are they in terms of refits/repairs/etc? Do they have a full load-out of equipment, food, and fuel? What about medical supplies that have a shorter shelf-life?

If the Americans had ground assets in number in the area, I would be very worried. Most of the medical staff on the hospital ships are actually Reservists - and extremely expensive to maintain, and they don't like being away from their private practice. That means the hospital ship is usually...
