Don't ever imagine SAF won't torture sadistically, far far away
from the Geneva Conventions rules. I believe its usually not the
chiefs of staff level that make 'break Geneva Conventions' torture
a policy. Its the field level people, who have seen too much
brutality and lost comrades, that come up with their horrible
torture.
When its war-time, all bets are off, with regards to civilised
behaviour. You and I, and all the other very normal people we
associate with daily, are just as likely to turn into brutal
beasts.
