#1 Here's an idea. Don't go to Afghanistan. Or Yemen. Or Sudan. Or Gaza. Or...

#2 Good advice, tu.

From the article: "Run away if you can; stay calm if you can't." In addition to these useful hints, I would add, "Try not to die".

#3 How about, "Catatonia will make the time seem shorter"?

#4 If you are a US soldier/marine and you are kidnapped/captured by terrorists, my advice would be to put your head between your legs and kiss your a$$ goodbye. I don't think we've gotten any soldiers back alive.
Of course, this should tell US military personnel not to surrender under any circumstances. Fight to the death and take as many jihadis with you as you can. If you run out of ammo, throw rocks.

#5 Rambler,
Not only have we not gotten them back alive, but they have generally been tortured extensively. Kissing your a$$ goodbye is much too passive a strategy. The policy should be:
1) Don't go anywhere without firearm & ammo.
2) Use same.
3) Do not ever, ever surrender. Unless you like excruciating pain.
4) Carry knife or club in case you run out of ammo.
5) see #3.

#6 Promise that if they don't torture you, you'll give them the names of CIA operatives posing as MSM reporters.
