Yeah, I was thinking tactical intel vs. strategic. You're lowest private should know your SOPs and TTPs and that's enough to get your unit in a bunch of trouble when they take contact.

When I was a Private I was RTO and then driver for the 1SG. I knew the radio frequencies and guardpost passwords and as the driver I knew movement orders about 3 hours before the rest of the unit. Those are tactical pieces of intelligence that an enemy could use. I have no illusions I could last more than a few minutes under the care of a good torturer. Every Private probably has a wealth of situationally valuable tactical knowledge. For example, the Private humping the M-60 probaly knows the platoon's reaction tactics that would be valuable to know to set up an ambush. The Private driving the 1SG knows the location of the fuel and ammo dumps, field kitchen, maintenence point and supply depot. The gun bunny Private knows exactly what rounds his battery was issued. >So what do you think the average Private knows that is worth being >tortured? Ego aside. Nobody wants to think they'll crack, but trust me >if they want you to you will. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create Web Applications With ColdFusion MX7 & Flex 2.
