Only 200k less than the entire fighting age males existing in all of Belarus according to the CIA’s List of global manpower fit for military service

Yeah people do this in rural Cambodia to protect their birds from theft or death during the night. Envision a tiny molded wooden cabin with two floors and a metal roosting ladder going up the stairs into the common sleeping area. You're sleeping with the chickens, the cats, and the half starved kittens and mosquitos along with other family members under a mosquito net and limited electricity. I don't recommend it to anyone.

>tritium decay is also far lower energy (and therefore both less penetrating and less damaging) than most other nuclear decay,

Tritium is heavy hydrogen and takes the place chemically of hydrogen. Once it's in your body it will fill the same role as hydrogen does which means it's getting into your cells, your proteins, even your DNA where it will do a lot of damage when it decays.

It's not harmless. Not in the slightest.
