It's a tricky one to call, isn't it ?? I tend to agree with the person who said that tortured people will agree to ANYTHING in order to stop the agony----I know I would ! But then,that rather defeats the object of the exercise,don't you think ?
    Of course,there are many (regrettably) rather inadequate people for whom there is a strong attraction in military service,and for whom a uniform and a gun represent an opportunity to indulge God -knows-what vile fantasies. Couple that with WEAK and INEFFECTIVE leadership, throw in some lobsters,t-bone steaks ,and a highly permissive attitude towards marijuana,etc, ( I mention no specific theatres of war, but.....) and you have the perfect breeding ground for all kinds of inhumane & uncivilised behaviour, sadly. As the world has seen all too often in the last 100 years or so.
                   No offence ,Teribus,but I think you meant "Clewed up" , as opposed to "Clued up" ,didn't you ?? Totally different meanings !
