How can you be trained to resist these kinds of interrogation methods?

How is an individual trained to resist the most extreme interrogation methods possibly imaginable.

I can't imagine having my private areas electrocuted, or having my fingernails and toenails pulled out without divulging the information the interrogator wants, even if it is a lie.

Can anyone tell me how it is possible to train and condition a person to resist the bloody and ruthless extreme interrogation techniques (torture) depicted in this film?

No one can resist torture. At the most people are trained to give bad information, on the other hand the person extracting information knows this and will continue to push the torture way past the point when information is given knowing that at a certain point a person will screw up false information, but the fact they know will remain clear. Done properly no one will keep from giving up what they know unless the person performing the torture screws up and kills them or doesn't realize where the point of consciousness is... that is the only hope of the person being tortured, that they pass out, go into shock or die...

^^^ In which case, the person being interrogated DID successfully resist torture. They may have paid with their life, but the did not divulge the knowledge sought by the interrogator.

There are some techniques that are taught to hold out as long as possible against torture, but what it really comes down to is intestinal fortitude and the strengths of your convictions. If you are 100% dedicated to your beliefs, or your country, or your god thats what keeps people from talking.

Some soldier's are trained to hold out as long as they can against torture and trained to only give out there name and rank.... But there trained in psychological torture (ie no sleep, bright lights, "good cop bad cop", threats to there family ect ect) not actually physical torture
