War is where it's sane to be insane, and the only way to deal with it is temporary insanity.

Yep. Catch-22.

the garbled SA Fox induced "confessions".

Excellent point 4WB.

In additional to hypothetical memory, ptsd memory, exaggerated memory, and the actual fogginess of memory, the NCIS comes in and keeps these guys in a room with a bare bulb, withdrawn freedom/food/bodily function relief, threats, pleas, deals, and the psycho-techniques taught at interrogation school, and then they get their scribble on a "statement" sheet.

Just a little of that when you're groggy from too little sleep, and you'll confess to being the guy on the grassy knoll.
