Right-o.

Everyone can be broken because there comes a point where you just want it to end.

As a teen I screwed up and stayed out all night. My dad applied the lightest bit of “torture” on me when morning came. I had yet to sleep and he didn’t want staying up all night to be a habit that ruined my chores or staying in bed till the afternoon. So he made me stay up. If I sat or laid down he tossed a shot of water in my face or grabbed me by the shoulder and made me stand on my feet. He made sure I stayed up and walking around till I begged him to just let me sleep.

All it was was sleep deprivation and I was promising him I’d never stay out or up later than midnight.

Great teaching point by your father.

Think if hadn’t been your father, but an armed guard with a dog, and the dog and the guard had a terrific bark.

In less than 24 hours of sleep deprivation, point of capture imbalance, and fear of what your interrogators might do to you, interspersed with the screams of role players pretending to be tortured from the other side of camp.

Pure intelligence report goodness.
