More like a squared circle^^^You two should get a room.
Infantry Training at FT. Polk, Louisiana the Survival course consisted of one Chicken for four guy's. One guy had to pull the head of a live Chicken and skin it with his bare hands. We had a No.10 can to boil ours in with a little salt and rice. It came out pretty good but wasn't near enough for four.

Actually the Resistance part of SERE teaches that you will be broken. Everyone is eventually. The point is to let you know that and to know when you will break. That gives you control, which is what any interrogation is trying to take away.
Right before a person breaks, there's always signs that can't be faked no matter how good an actor you are. Since you already know at what time you will break, that puts you in control. Then you use false information to mislead them and manipulate them.
The enemy will show some action, even if subtle to the misinformation. Your team will be watching. When they see the changes, even small ones, by pre agreed tactics, they will know which set of information you are feeding them and be able to get the setup.
SERE is a bit different from combat units compared to that for SOCOM and Intelligence. Even being captured can be a weapon.

I will have you know I was a "TAC Trained Killer". My body count was legendary. Those aluminum armored vessels did not protect their contents one darned bit.

What was this thread about? Oh yeah, a country song question. We were in a restaurant last night and they were playing music over the TV and the screen said it was "New Country" WTF?? it sounded like some strange hip hop. My wife informed me that is what country is now. I then realized I hadn't a clue what country sounds like since around 1995. I think I will remain blissfully ignorant of 'New Country"...
Country died a few decades ago. It became something akin to the old Rockabilly. Way too many electric guitars and almost no pedal steel guitars. There are no more ballads just soft rock love songs.
And when was the last time you heard a new trucking/cowboy/hunting song?
What we need is another David Allan Coe.

Jakey-Jake Double Trouble (aka Jerry Jeff Walker) recorded many "old style country/western ballads" that I liked. He wrote and sang music that told a story. And that alone makes him different from the electrified music that most of today's "new country" artists play. Among my favorite Jerry Jeff songs are Dear John Letter Lounge. Mr Bojangles, Desperados Waiting on a Train, Up Against the Wall Redneck Mother, LA Freeway and Jaded Lover. If you haven't listened to any of those, do yourself a favor and tune them in.
Mr Bojangles was Walker's first hit - one that he wrote in the mid-1960s after a night in a New Orleans drunk tank - and it was first recorded by Texas performer Allen Wayne Damron in a live performance in Austin in 1967. Walker's version was recorded the following year and launched his career. If my old (1960-70s Austin scene) memory is accurate, Walker hung with a group which also included, occasionally, Kris Kristofferson - an exceptional songwriter with the voice of a squashed frog. I do vaguely remember watching Kristofferson and Janice Joplin play sets (separately, not together) at Kenneth Threadgill's bar/grill in the 1967-68 timeframe. I remember because they each impressed me with their horrible singing voices.
Walker also sponsored/promoted younger Texas country artists. For example, Walker invited an unknown local, Gary P. Nunn to sing his outrageously funny "Down Home London Blues" at one of Walker's live (recorded) concerts. The audience, who'd never heard Nunn's song before, loved it so much they made Nunn do three encores of the song's last stanza.
Although Walker was a native New Yorker, he started hanging with the Willie/Waylon/et al gang in Austin's 6th Street music area in the early 1970s and quickly ditched his New York accent. [I saw 6 or 7 Walker/Willie/Waylon concerts during that period.] Walker's songwriter/singer talent never approached the Roy Orbison level (I mean, who could? The Beatles once claimed that Orbison had the "voice of God."). But his not-quite-David-Allan-Coe-outlaw-leaning music was as entertaining as the more civilized Pat Green/Clint Black/Steve Earle group, and almost as cleaver as Robert Earl Keen (who wrote the quintessential Texas Christmas song "Merry Christmas From the Family"). Just imagine? Keen and Lyle Lovett (who was once married to actress Julie Roberts) were housemates while attending Texas A&M).
Many say that George Strait is the current "King of Texas country music," but those who came before him brought more creativity to their music. Indeed, Strait's musical selections lost their creativity shortly after he sang "Amarillo by Morning," and, today, his songs are mainly rinse-and-repeat two-step dancehall music. Bob Wills would be bored to death after listening to two Strait songs.
Jakey-Jake Double Trouble was a fantastic storyteller who could sing passably well - skillsets that best describe "old style" country music.
Here are links to songs by a few of Texas' best storytellers.

When I hear "Mr Bojangles" I instantly hear the cover from Nitty Gritty Dirt Band .....and crave spicy fried chicken and biscuits....
Love me some Steve Earle......Copperhead Road, NO. 29 (VERY sentimental song to me), Guitar Town, The Devils Right Hand, Snake Oil.....and others are on my playlist....Jamey Johnson, another of my favorites said he was inspired by Steve Earle and DAC....probably why I like his music so much.

I first read of ol d a coe about '75, and never heard him on our local smalltown radio which got its feed from a sisterstation owned by the same guy in a larger town (i still look for for an off switch when i hear the opening note to 'theme from a summer place'; they never played the anthem when they shut it down for the night), but caught him on the dx at night, same way i heard cw mccall and ledeux before the other kids.
CW McCall is classic travelling music and definitely on my play list....same with Red Sovine.
Chris Ledoux didn't get the credit he deserved.....also on my playlist with "This Cowboys Hat" being a favorite.
