Bush: Torture was right because it got results

How do you KNOW they have information?

They tell you.

[Mich the Tester]

They tell you.

And if they don't tell you?

[kandr]

And if they don't tell you?

Vee have vays of making you talk!

[SupremeSpod]

No I'm merely pointing out that your inability to see the point is due to a limitation of your intellectual apparatus and that probably accounts for you not being an officer.

Oh, we're back to the "you're thick, I'm not" schoolboy insults are we?

Doesn't have to be an insult, could be a statement of fact.

Were you an officer in the army? if so, what were the rules for torturing prisoners, if mum was not the word?

I was recommended for Officer when I applied, but was advised by my father, himself a former officer, to get myself trained up in something that would be useful even when I left the Army. I opted to stick to the technical engineering route, a decision which I have been grateful for on a host of occasions.
As for torturing prisoners, not a lot of that went on where I worked. The russkies were too chickentsh*t to take us on apparently!

Sure you were. You keep telling yourself that.



Technical Engineering eh? Did you finally get your City and Guilds then?

You see? There you go again, displaying your ignorance of the subject. If you had ever been allowed anywhere near the more complex parts of the Armed Forces, you would realise that being an officer per se is very far from being the be-all and end-all.
Of course in your simple little world, it is very cut and dried. However, back in the real world it is very different. Not the only arena your complete lack of knowledge leaves you with an eggy face though eh?
Top Tip, if you are going to attempt to come across as having any valid knowledge of the workings of the Services, try delving a bit deeper than Commando Comics.

If only they knew that you'd stay in a cell with other hostages rather escaping...

They DID know that...............it was called evaluation of circumstances and appropriate action taken. I'd have been released shortly after along with all the other hostages that were endowed with the grey matter to calculate the odds.
As for you, I suppose the Soviet Military set great store by having officers that would hightail it blindly into impenetrable forest at the first sign of a tricky decision do they?
No wonder you emigrated!!!
