Tbh I always found the conservative estimates of clone numbers (2 to 3 million) to be totally inadequate and too small when we talk individual clones. There are more than 3 million PLANETS involved with hundreds of fronts and battles taking place simultaneously, not to mention that on Venators and Acclamators only the commanding officers were non-clones. If the 2 to 3 million thus mean individual soldiers there wouldn’t be enough to man both all the warships and the ground forces.

padawanlost:

Same. Fortunately,
the old EU rectified that mistake and now the 3 millions clones were only the
first “batch”. Adding to what you already mentioned, It makes no sense to have
only 3 millions clone to fight billions of droids for 3 years. That’s just bad
math. Even I know this will end badly lol

The first two hundred
thousand Grand Army clones were collected from Kamino by the Jedi Grand Master
Yoda, who raced to Geonosis to confront Dooku and the leaders of the newborn
Confederacy of Independent Systems. Another
wave of a million clones was ready soon after that, part of Sifo-Dyas’s initial
order of three million.

a number of droid models designed to wage war against the Republic. B1 battle
droids, droidekas, and starfighters known as vulture droids first saw action in
the invasion of Naboo in 32 BBY; a decade later, the Clone Wars would see billions upon billions of droids battle the
Republic’s armies from one side of the galaxy to the other.

 I mean, I’m with the
fans who believe the real number was somewhere between 11 billions and 1
trillion.

What info do you have on cognitive symptoms? I keep reading about them but I keep forgetting the info and I don’t have the energy to search for it myself

Cognitive symptoms are basically impairments in your brains ability to process, remember and apply information. Cognitive impairments affect memory, working memory, concentration, executive functioning, learning abilities and likely other brain related skills that we rely on.

Common consequences of this includes struggling to study, work, practice hobbies, function in our day to day lives, etc as impaired cognitive functions means that our brains ability to do stuff isn’t as it should be and thus we struggle far more than most people and may be unable to perform what we need and are expected to.

Most schizophrenics experience cognitive symptoms to some degree. It’s not known exactly why and how, but recently anti psychotic medication is speculated to play a role in the deterioration of cognitive abilities in schizophrenic people. It’s unlikely that that’s the trigger of these issues, though, and they’re thought to be an integral part of the disease despite not being in the diagnostic criteria.

The severity of cognitive issues vary, and not everyone are or will be severely disabled by their cognitive issues, but most schizophrenics struggle with cognitive symptoms to some degree and may thus have a harder time functioning in society than most people.

Cognitive symptoms deteriorate your brains ability in ways similar to brain injury, but they aren’t chronic and can actually often be retrained in similar ways. Cognitive retraining like the kinds offered to people who have had brain injuries are shown to be effective when it comes to schizophrenia related cognitive impairments as well.

damn that bit at the end is so interesting. schizophrenic brains need to heal in the same way as brain injuries. for people who say “it’s all in your head!!!!” like you’re sure right, my brain is basically injured and needs to be retaught how to function so back off x thx bye

Like the funny thing about cognitive symptoms is that they aren’t an issue with your brain FEELINGS (energy, motivation, happiness, etc) they’re an issue with your brains LITERAL ABILITIES. You can’t be expected to power through cognitive symptoms and they won’t just pass if you try hard enough cause you’re not just feeling that shits fucked shits actually very literally fucked. Cognitive symptoms are often seen as an issue of lacking effort or lacking motivation but they aren’t. They’re a very literal issue with your brains abilities and they need to be treated as such.

What do you think it’s the most likely thing that happened to Dogma after he was taken out in Umbara?

padawanlost:

Nothing
good. The Clones were property, not citizen so a fair trial would be out of the
question. I seriously doubt a government that refuses to acknowledge a clone’s
humanity and citizenship would ever consider to offer him justice. The Republic
was also drowning in debt, there was no money (or interest) to care for the
clones wellbeing, let alone create a whole new system to provide justice for being
who were designed to be obedient and docile.

“There’ll be injuries that a man can survive, but that means he’ll never
be fit for service again. I can’t seriously believe something like that hasn’t
happened in more than a year of this war. And
yet there are no homes for these men, who must surely exist, and we know they
don’t end up being cared for by family—because they have none. So where do they
go?”
Besany didn’t even want to think about it, but she had to. The only
answer she could think of right then was that the most badly injured who might
otherwise have been saved were left to die. But some mobile surgical units had
Jedi advisers. No Jedi would let such a thing happen … would they? [
Republic Commando:
True Colors by Karen Traviss]

We have no agreement for
long-term care with the Grand Army. In fact, as far as the Republic is
concerned this patient doesn’t exist,
and as he’s been declared brain-dead
by the duty neurosurgical team, we would
normally terminate life support
, except he’s still breathing, which is
highly abnormal.” The droid paused as if to check if Besany was following its
train of logic with her inadequate organic brain. “Withdrawal of life support
in his case means withdrawal of hydration or feeding, or both.”

“Starving him to death, for us lay-beings.”

“Indeed. This is clearly
ethically undesirable, so euthanasia will be administered.”

Besany thought she’d misheard, but she hadn’t. “No,” she said, hearing
her voice as if she were standing outside herself. “No, it will not be
administered. I’ll get his care authorized. In fact, I’ll get him moved to
private care.”Did I hear that right? Do
they really put patients down like that? Like sick pets?”
[Republic
Commando: True Colors by Karen Traviss]

The clones had no
citizenship, no health care, no pensions and no rights. They were property and every
time a property malfunctioned they called tech support (in this case Kamino).
In case of military punishment – that is not result of malfunction, such as Tup/Fives
case – I believe they would be send to the GAR’s command and they would deal
with them. The problem, of course, was that the GAR command was filled with
guys that did not care for clones rights. If they were okay with sentencing a
16 years old Jedi to death, I doubt they would be too lenient on a clone.

At best, he would end up in
prison and, at worst, dead. I’m not a military expert but I’d assume that
killing your general is frowned upon under any circumstance. Honestly, things
wouldn’t go well for Dogma not because he killed a Jedi General but because he
was a clone. If a Jedi had killed Krell, I doubt said Jedi would end up in
handcuffs (just saying).  

Things wouldn’t go well for
Dogma because he wasn’t a citizen who killed another citizen who had turned on
the Republic. He was a tool that killed his wielder. As Filoni said, Dogma’s
actions were wrong and punishable by the Republic.

[Rex] can’t condone [Dogma]’s
actions through the court system – Basically, Rex can’t legally support it
openly. Personally, he probably might
agree with the situation. He can’t fault Dogma for what happened, but he can
fault him because by the book…
Dogma’s
off the book. That’s why Dogma gets arrested.
– Filoni

If Dogma is off the book
and his actions were still so wrong Rex could not publicly side with him then
it would be safe to assume Dogma did not have happy ending.

That dialogue from In Search of the Crystal…

wolveria:

Obi Wan: Their base must be close by.

Anakin: I’ll contact Ahsoka, maybe she can…

Anakin: *breaks off, realizing his mistake*

Obi Wan: *concerned* Anakin?

Anakin: *sigh* Forget about it. She’s gone.

Obi Wan: Anakin, do you want to talk about it?

Anakin: What’s there to talk about?

Obi Wan: Nothing I suppose. It’s…. Perhaps we should set up camp. Sound like a plan?

Anakin: *sadly* Whatever you say, Master.

Later: Obi Wan watches Anakin make a fire. He’s concerned.

Obi Wan: Anakin. Dwelling on Ahsoka’s decision won’t bring her back.

Anakin: I miss her, okay? Is that what you wanted me to say? I still can’t understand how she could have left the Order.

Obi Wan: It was a surprise decision to all of us.

Anakin: It was wrong! She’s a Jedi. She belongs with us. She’s one of us.

Obi Wan: She made the decision, Anakin.

Anakin: *angry* Well what choice did we give her? The moment there were any suspicions about her loyalty the Council turned their back on her.

Obi Wan: I would grant you mistakes were made. But she chose to leave. Part of the Jedi way is not letting emotion cloud your better judgement. And that’s precisely what Ahsoka did. Even in her most critical moment.

Anakin:

Obi Wan: Why don’t you get some rest?

Anakin: I’m not tired. You can rest, Master. I’ll keep first watch.

Obi Wan: Well then. I’ll accept your kind offer. *lays down on ground* You can’t take responsibility for Ahsoka’s decision, Anakin.

Anakin: How would you feel if I turned into a major disappointment?

Obi Wan: It’s not the same.

Anakin: It’s precisely the same. You took me under your wing and practically raised me. I’m your padawan. Just like Ahsoka was mine. How well would you sleep knowing I failed you?

Obi Wan: Not very well I imagine. Luckily that isn’t true. And never will be.
