  1. Dislocation of expectation, a method used in Korean and Vietnamese POW establishments, and the nahtcee camps to weaken and break down pow's and make them easier to manipulate, to knock the fight out of them, make them totally subservient, and then bend them to use them against other inmates or people outside to not resist. They tried this for 2 years for example on Donald "Lofty" Large, Gloucestershire Regiment wounded at Imjin, tortured, poorly fed and with a withered arm due to poor or little medical treatment. It did not work, he was repatriated, spent years on physiotherapy until he recovered, stayed in the Army, took SAS Selection twice and passed (the second time with an foot recovering from being broken) and served on for decades becoming one of the finest SAS Sergeant Major's the UK has ever had the honour to have. They also did it to Lieutenant James "Nick" Rowe (later Colonel) in Vietnam for 5 years, they did not break him either, just before he was due to be murdered he escaped. He wrote a book Five Years to Freedom and founded the US Army Survival Evasion Resistance and Escape SERE school which taught thousands of people liable to be captured how to survive and avoid being broken I doubt it will work on TR either, so they would be wiser to release him. Stay strong Tommy you are not the first, the Gestapo and SS did it to my great uncle a Jugoslav Royal Navy official in ww2, by beating his feet and all kinds of psychological torture, it didn't work, he escaped on very badly beaten feet and fought them in the mountains as a Chetnik, escaping to Austria post war and settling in England for the rest of his life, working in the NHS for 30 years. Stay tough TR,
