> Almost all professional criminals know the antidote for this kind of interrogation. Military must know it too.
Military interrogation is very different from criminal interrogation. The goals are different on both sides of the table. As a general rule, captives in a military setting are more concerned with the lives of others than their own. The opposite is true in a criminal situation. This changes the tactics dramatically.
Example: your squad is captured behind enemy lines. Two of your guys are severely wounded. Your captor asks you for some information that you know is unclassified in exchange for medical care for your buddies. Do you stay silent?
Before anyone says "they have to give medical care because of Geneva", remember we live in the real world.
Professional criminals in criminal organizations almost always do this.
It's mostly futile to try to interrogate members of Hell's Angles for example. The shut up and do the time.
Most low level criminals are criminals because they have drug/alcohol dependency, neurological problems, etc.. that lead low impulse control. They are easier to deal with.
