The Soviet NKVD was good at this
Never meant to infer that you did. Was merely making a statement relative to the topic. You mentioned "mental health problems". I just took it a step further to be critical of the medical profession.I wasnt asking a doctor his opinion, was I? I was asking a man whos know this man virtually all his life......
