All interrogation must be done with soft cushions and comfy chairs:
British soldiers have “lost their capability” to interrogate terrorist insurgents because of strict new rules on questioning that even ban shouting in captives’ ears, military chiefs have warned.
The rules — detailed in court papers obtained by The Telegraph — also prevent military intelligence officers from banging their fists on tables or walls, or using “insulting words” when interrogating a suspect.
The regulations replaced a previous policy that had to be withdrawn after a series of legal challenges and the death in custody of Baha Mousa, an Iraqi detainee in Basra.
But there is growing disquiet within the ranks that the latest guidelines, officially called Challenge Direct, are so stringent that it makes interrogation pointless. […]
Col Tim Collins, who made a celebrated eve-of-battle speech during the Iraq war and now runs a private security company with expertise in intelligence gathering, said: “Since I was serving, the rules on interrogations have been tightened up because of the lawyers. We [the military] are no longer able to carry out tactical questioning.
“The effect of the ambulance-chasing lawyers and the play-it-safe judges is that we have got to the point where we have lost our operational capability to do tactical questioning. That in itself brings risks to the lives of the people we deploy.
“These insurgents are not nice people. These are criminals. They behead people; they keep sex slaves. They are not normal people.”
Lord West, the former First Sea Lord and national security adviser, said: “We have gone too far in letting people take us to court.
“While these insurgents are chopping people’s heads off and raping women, the idea they can take us to court because somebody shouted at them is ridiculous.”
Be nice to terrorists. Because they are very nice to you.
So, surrendering to terrorists is the new black.
Awesome.

Alternatively, there is an alternative encapsulated as The POW Calculus.
1) You don’t ever want to fight anyone twice;
2) Some POWs may have useful information;
3) Capture, relocation and detention of POWs requires the
use of scarce resources.
4) If I catch them, I’ll do the math.
I weep for what is about to happen to the good ol’ USA.
Balkanized within, blinded to without, our national budget squandered, our youth being the opposite of educated, our military corrupted, a million man feederally controlled police force being created, voting integrity a joke, religious virtue an enemy, and the constitution itself but a mass of SillyPutty.
We’re fucked.

‘Cause I don’t see ridin’ out the WROL storm in my apartment as a viable survival strategy for Chicago.
um
the strategy is evolving
Shit will get real that day.
Fortunately for the rest of us, our counterparts have already shown us exactly what “getting real” means, in concrete terms. Thus, appropriate countermeasures can be taken, if one has the resources and the stomach for it.
Winter is coming.
Realize that while at some point you will likely have enough guns, you can never have too much ammo.
