That doesn't apply in this case, they dint care about court cases. The arrest and torture is the only point.

Do you mean the field jacket or an actual big coat? Generally everyone recommends having multiple good layers rather than a big coat that can make you sweat.

Bribing politicians is cheap, it's generally millions for billions and more like 100k to billion for small politicians.

That's not really accurate, the experience of an infantry soldier doing foot patrols in Afghanistan is completely different than someone who lived in a giant base in Iraq that had hiphop night and taco bell and never left it.

It's the system that produces a restricted rules of engagement and a general fear of punishment if you do something wildly out of line and a strong Management that induces discipline and restraint. If you take one crazy guy out of that system and then hand him a gun and tell him that he can do whatever he wants with full immunity then you don't get restraint.

In any context you always have a general 2:1 ratio of non combat support to active combat arms troops
