Learning to hang yourself in the army?

[Oliver]

Many years ago, a guy I knew hung himself after supposedly being taught how to hang yourself in the army (as a last resort kind of thing) and it caused some uproar, regarding if that was a "moral" thing to teach people or what not. However, anyone who can confirm, if this is true? And is it possible to go into detail, regarding the least painful and "safest" way to hang yourself? I suppose that it was being taught quite specifically, if it was taught in the army.

There are guides here, I don't think theres more to it.

The simple answer Oliver is no, not in uk forces it is not taught as a last resort if wounded or captured.
