This is based on the assumption that torture works, which again, is doing the regime's work for them. It doesn't. People under torture will say anything and everything, make up anything their captors want to hear, which means the torturers aren't actually going to get useful information. You don't have to "hold out" against the torture, you just go insane and anything they get out of you is gibberish.
I recommend reading Shock Doctrine, torturers are great at completely destroying people and ruining them for the rest of their lives, but that's it. There's nothing left after that. It's a fate worse than death. Definitely don't get taken alive.
USAmericans need to study Palestinian resistance and Israeli colonial occupation. Gaza is coming.
