I like the idea of being able to capture BlueFor but don't think it should be done through a special kit. Instead, a special attack that would take only 34% of health could be added to most of the insurgent kits so that they would be able to capture only wounded or completely unaware or outnumbered souldiers. I think the insurgents would always try to kill the blue guys unless capturing is easy.

As for penalties, I'd go for 60s like in case of a suicide and some ticket loss.

People generally misuse the word morale.

Morale in a military context is the will to fight.

Having a comrade captured would almost never reduce a professional soldier's morale.

And what leads you to believe that Project Reality is intended to portray the current fighting in Iraq?

In itself they aren't tasteless, except maybe the preceding radio music. But the suggestions and behavior around them always seem to end up being so. And you haven't seen many of the re-enactment videos by "illustrious" former members of this community, have you?

Oh, by all means, sure, lets put them in a kit and have wave after wave of endlessly spawning f***tardates wasting tickets instead of a limited vehicular asset that can only be expended so often in a round. If they want to be suicidal dumbshits and/or re-enact jihadist propaganda videos, they can just drop the sapper's explosives at their feet and left-click.

I feel that the idea is 100% in bad taste the Insurgents do not just kidnap soldier's they would kill them 90% of the time and the other 10% is when the us solider surrenders and with the way they know they will be treated they would die fighting then get there heads cut off.

I'm sorry the only reason I think the coalition can do this is because they don't murder them with out the government holding the killers responsible.

No disrespected was intended but the Idea is very tasteless.
