Army now accepting recruits with mental health issues. Oh this can't end well.
Courtesy of MSN: *People with a history of “self-mutilation,” bipolar disorder, depression and drug and alcohol abuse can now seek waivers to join the Army under an unannounced policy enacted in August, according to documents obtained by USA TODAY. * *The decision to open Army recruiting to those with mental health conditions comes as the service faces the challenging goal of recruiting 80,000 new soldiers through September 2018. To meet last year's goal of 69,000, the Army accepted more recruits who fared poorly on aptitude tests, increased the number of waivers granted for mari... more »
World War III in Europe: Imagine if the Soviet Union Invaded NATO? This Simulator Does.
*Michael Peck* *Security, Europe* It would have been awful--and bloody. *From three decades distant, it is easy to forget that the late 1980s were the high point of the World War That Never Was. Both sides, oblivious to the imminent fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Soviet Union, had deployed the last cutting-edge technology of the era. Many of the weapons that would have clashed in the Fulda Gap or the north German plain, did go on to fight in Desert Storm, and could fight again in Ukraine or Poland: Abrams, Challenger, Leopard and T-80 tanks; Bradley and BMP inf... more »
Why Russia, China or North Korea Does Not Want to Fight America's M1 Abrams Tank
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * And it just keeps getting better. *The development of the M1 Abrams is a classic study into how competing requirements can collide with one another. The trifecta of tank power, firepower, protection and mobility all required some level of compromise. The Army was willing to bend some requirements, particularly with regards to weight, to get a good tank instead of being unbending in a vain search for the perfect tank. The result is the most battle-tested main battle tank today, a tank that, with periodic upgrades, has stood the test of time.* The M1 ... more »

*TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 2017Deplorables, Chekhov and you:* For our money, Beverly Young Nelson performed a great service yesterday with her discussion of Roy Moore. No presentation compels another person's belief, but a person would need a substantial motive to believe that Nelson was inventing her account of the sexual assault against her person conducted so long ago. Especially since this presentation was delivered on camera, it constitutes a strong "seconding" of Leigh Corfman's original claim against Moore. We'll be discussing these matters more tomorrow.

Could France's Leclerc Tank Destroy America's M1 or Russia's Best Armor in Battle?

There are many benefits — a good power-to-weight ratio, lower ground pressure, superb acceleration and a comparatively high maximum speed of 45 miles per hour. The Leclerc is a lot more fuel efficient than many other tanks. It can travel 340 miles before refueling, compared to 260 for the Abrams.

A Return To Pre-Revolutionary France
Paul Krugman has written a blistering analysis of what the Republicans call tax "reform." They're using the same arguments that George W. Bush used to sell his tax plan. But there are new and egregious add-ons: There are also some new aspects to this latest money grab. This time around, much more clearly than before, the goal seems to be to favor wealth, especially inherited wealth, over work. And buried in the legislation are multiple measures that would make it much harder for the children of the middle and working classes to work their way up. The bill targets middle class fa... more »

On Duns Scotus
“Looking back on the Middle Ages, we may tend to see in the system of Duns Scotus a bridge between the two centuries, between the age of St. Thomas and the age of Ockham; but Ockham himself certainly did not see in Scotus a kindred spirit, and I think that even if Scotus’s philosophy did prepare the way for a more radical criticism his system must be regarded as the last of the great mediaeval speculative syntheses.” ~ Frederic Copleston in *A History of Philosophy (Volume II)*
New book reveals Vatican intrigue, Mother Teresa's vast wealth, and rampant pedophilia.
The book is called "Original Sin" by author Gianluigi Nuzzi, and it paints a rather disgusting picture of the Holy See as a den of iniquity, depravity, and base immorality. Here are some excerpts courtesy of the Daily Beast: *The book is filled with salacious scoops, backed up by copies of documents printed in an exhaustive index. He shines a light on the disappearance of 15-year-old Emanuela Orlandi, the daughter of a Vatican employee who went missing 30 years ago after a music lesson and whose body has never been found.

Global Climate Change - How Warm is Warm?
While you may or may not believe in the concept of anthropogenic global climate change, a recent study by University of Washington's Adrian Raftery et al entitled "Less than 2 degrees C warming by 2100 unlikely" should at least give you pause to ponder the direction that our fragile world is heading. This study is particularly pertinent given that a 2 degrees Celsius temperature increase is often seen as the "tipping point" that could lead to environmental calamity. The authors of the paper suggest that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) projections for global te... more »
How North Korea Could Become Nuclear Weapons Powerhouse
*Malcolm Davis* *Security, Asia* Accepting North Korea as a nuclear weapons state doesn’t end the crisis.

The idea is to avoid the worst possible short-term outcome of a major war that could escalate rapidly past the nuclear threshold... more »
