Is the U.S. the only country with high endurance troops for interrigation?

Question

honestly I am proud that the 15 british troops are back home, but I cant help but state that I am dissapointed in them. it did not take them long to give in to Tehrans wants and apoligize for something they didn t do. and then shaking hands with the enemy. I mean that is humiliating for the western powers. how can people be proud if their servicemen are so easily manipulated to do what the enemy wants them to do. I know for a fact if it were the U.S. troops they would not have given in, and would never shake hands with our enemy. It is dissapointing on how the british soldiers handled the situation. it is just humiliating for the west. my own personal opinion, I do not believe that those captured troops should be able to where those uniforms again. and the british military should start paying attention to their interrigation training for troops, hopeing this will never happen again. what are your thoughts on the topic?

Answer 1

(1) They are Royal Navy personnel, not British Army. They're not the Paras, they're not the SAS. Be realistic.

(2) If you think American troops don't give in, read on what happened to the 507th Maintenance Company in OIF-1. Or of how many American servicemen signed "confessions" extracted from them by the Communists during Korea and Vietnam "admitting crimes". American troops don't give in? Right. Oh and it's wrong to shake hands with the enemy? Right. So all those veterans' groups meeting years later to discuss the Second World War and Vietnam across combatant lines are in the wrong? Sure.

If you haven't been through SERE training, I wouldn't talk if I were you about what the 15 should or should not have done. So long as they kept their mouths shut about TTPs and classified information, they did not freely aid and abet the enemy.

Everyone has a breaking point. Some have one far stronger than the others, but EVERYONE has a breaking point. It is much easier to talk about resistance when you're not under the gun, so for you and everyone like you? Unless you're on the Board of Inquiry (in which case you shouldn't even talk about the case here) and you're in the know? Shut it.

In fact, I doubt you've debriefed any of the 15, so shut it. And if you don't think you should, you go get yourself locked up in an Iranian jail and come back for bragging rights.

Answer 2

You've raised some strong points in your question. I spent 20 years in the U.S. Army and never once was the impression given to give up so easily and then be as friendly with the enemy as the British troops had been.

I see their caving in so readily as an inevitability in ways. Yet the scene on TV was shocking to me. The Iranian president was purposeful in his objective using the media for his tool to show the world how gracious, yet firm he can be. And the world will believe it.

Back to our interrogative techniques: Even during our war maneuvers we remained steadfast in providing only our name, rank, and serial number to the interrogations. Yet we weren't disposed to such violent and harsh treatment as to what Senator McCain and others had to endure either during their captivity in Vietnam.

I'm relieved that the British troops are home safe, but I wonder now what Iran expects the United Nations to do regarding the sanctions imposed upon them.

It's a troubled world. Yours is a good question.

Answer 3

It all depends on the individuals. They don't train all the troops to with stand interogation techniques on a high level. They get into that more with your special forces people, but not too much with your standard army grunt. To that extent I think the troops in other countries are trained much better for that, especially those in smaller groups such as the Iraqi national guard.

Answer 4

The British government planted the sailors in Iranian waters knowing they would be captured. Iran is not at fault. Britain finally admitted it is responsible for most of the bombings that it said were the fault of the Irish Republican Army. Globalists run the British and American governments.

It all depends on the type of jobs that they do. Not all are trained I know that for a fact.
