Normal people don’t get one, some specialist crews get something..

We do courses on Conduct After Capture, the intro course is mandatory for anyone deploying, the other ones are more in-depth, you also get local intelligence briefs and a view on chances of surviving being captured.

I have talked to people captured by Germans, Japanese, IRA and Iraqis

We also can go on an Survive, Evade, Resist, Extract - SERE course at RAF St Mawgan.

(I have a couple of ex instructors sorting out a Viking weekend for my works people)

If you are captured by terrorists, best just to shoot yourself tbh.

For most you are simply a media and political pawn, no one is really interested in you (other than family and friends / comrades).

I did a stint on close protection during Telic (Iraq), we knew we had zero survivability.

Also if WW3 had kicked off, my trade (Avionics) and certain others were on the Russian Spetsnaz grab lists for a ‘quiet chat’.

It would kind of depend on the country, but if it were anywhere in the Middle East or China or North Korea I would in a New York minute.

By the way, do you know what the official definition of a New York minute is?

It depends what type of military captured me. I don't want to be be headed or raped or tortured, so I would probably take the pill and get it over with 😫

BCA6010 · Answer

Nobody gets issued poison pills.

The only enemy I ever faced or was likely to face in combat was not the type to take prisoners for any reason other than to execute you on al-Jazeera or now Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok and YouTube. Probably every man in my platoon would've fought to the death to prevent that from happening, if it came to that.

Frankly we weren't interested in taking prisoners either, if they didn't outright surrender. Can't really take that risk these days when the crazies strap themselves up with S-vests and such...

We have been captured in life to take a poison “vaccine” over a fake virus that has been sold to be the extermination of the human race with a survival rate of 99.8%. I am sure that anyone that had this virus and “vaccine” s_ic_de training could easily be convinced to take a poison pill with just the thought of being captured much less have to join the military. All you need is the MSM tell everyone go k_ll yourselves, and they will; they don’t need to be captured.

Thats not a thing, it was a thing among the Nazis, CIA, MI6, Mossad and other intelligence agencies in the late 40s,50s, 60s, 70s, but I imagine nowadays they probably don't do that anymore.

Hollywood sure loves putting this into peoples minds, but its simply untrue.

Ms_Vanderquack · Answer

Do you actually think they actually give poison pills to all military personnel?

SaoirseS · Answer

There are no poison pills given to the military. If captured, all you have to do is hold out for 24 hours then tell your captors anything they want to know.

andreasderjuengere · Answer

Firstly, I'll never volunteer for military - or any other murder organization.
If I get pressed for it: thanks for my new outdoor equipment and... bye bye.
there will be no mission if I can make it (not) happen.

DaveToo · Answer

MY combat training included how to avoid capture, then if captured, what to do. I don't need a poison pill.

Tiptoetamm · Answer

I would try and escape before I'd ever take poison pill

TrueConfection · Answer

My first reaction is no, but it's possible if that's what I was trained to do.

PurpleDrank69 · Answer

If I'm in a position where I was given some kind of potassium cyanide, I would have already resigned to the fact that the alternative is worse.
