     @CoQ_10 Dafuq were these morons thinking? Actually torturing a civilian during an exercise? And what was the fallout from this? Because there should have been significant consequences for the idiots involved.

     @Bro-Drillard @CoQ_10 That era of special operations is very much entirely like this. They were writing the books on how to do everything from scratch, so all their training was (and to an extent still is, IIRC) done domestically, even down to silly make-believe spy shit like learning to pass secret messages via dead drops and marking burned cigs

     @CoQ_10 @Bro-Drillard They weren’t the only ones, the gov did pretty intense capture training back through the early 90’s at least. Most MOS got some form of it to harden you against being captured and spilling everything. A kind of “well I’ve been tortured before, i can handle it”

     These guys probably did the same routine they got, having lost touch w/ normies they didn’t realize how delicate he was (not having done their fitness course)

     I’ve heard enough nasty stuff from the air force guys from the cold war.

     @WashedOutGundamPilot @Bro-Drillard If I remember the book correctly, they were tasked with infiltrating various high security US military bases to expose their vulnerabilities. The hostage thing was somehow part of this, trying to show what might actually be done in a real crisis. I think the "torturing" part was mostly because they were sick fucks.
