Well, from what I’ve read, torture resistance training is a crucial part of the training that CIA operatives and special forces soldiers undergo. They are taught how to resist torture by using techniques like mental conditioning, physical endurance, and survival skills. They are also trained on how to identify and resist interrogation techniques used by their captors. However, it’s important to note that no amount of training can fully prepare someone for the psychological and physical trauma of being kidnapped and tortured.
