Was I the only one effected by Jack being used as a pin cusion? (after just watching the JAG final, I'm very touchy about my fav characters getting bad treatment) I really felt his pain. And it was hard seeing him crack. It's like the whole speical ops training and stuff makes him resistent to torture.. I'm wondering if anyone else could have lasted that long.
I've never gone through SERE (Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape) School...
...but in the basic Escape and Evasion training the Army recieves, one of the first things they tell you is that noone is going to resist a concerted interrogation for long.
And that's a "real world" sans sarcophagi...
They also implied he was there a while...
IIRC, this wasn't the first time Jack was a POW.
Didn't they mention he was one in Iraq?
(IIRC that was from the episode where the time dilation from the blackhole affected the SGC and a MAJ Cromwell came in to investigate...)
From what I understand from reading about and hearing about POW stories from WWII and Vietnam, a lot of the strength of resistance is simply strength of character...
...and everyone's different.
