I spent six years in the Marines for the most part you don't know anything that can't be found on the Internet. Troop strength? Units? SOPs? Modus Operandi? Names of Leaders? Tactical plans? There are some exceptions but for the most part nothing worth being tortured over.
Any real plans, especially long term are limited to higher ranks, usually officers or can be found on line. Locations? Just ask Geraldo. Especially in Iraq we have bases not temporary camps or patrols hiding in the bush. If your unit is in the field at an undisclosed location that would be worth trying to conceal at least as long as possible in order to protect your buddies. From the talks I have with my cousin they don't seem to know anything about day to day missions until the night before at best, for the most part (this is my speculation based on our conversations. Radio operators might have some knowledge of value, crypto, frequencies etc.. Hell I had a TOP SECRET clearance and I can't think of anything I knew that would have done any harm had I spilled my guts. BFD I knew how to aim cannons with Nukes on board. If you don't have the nukes, or the guns what good is the info I had? Yet, they kept beating it into us about how important the info was. So what do you think the average Private knows that is worth being tortured? Ego aside. Nobody wants to think they'll crack, but trust me if they want you to you will.
