Langston Whitfield:
Why do you think Apartheid was necessary?
Col. de Jager:
It was simple mathematics. Four million of us, Thirty million of them. When you're under constant attack from terrorists, the normal rules of the road don't apply. You have to do what you have to do.
Langston Whitfield:
Including torture.
Col. de Jager:
Correct. To get information.

Why do you think apartheid was necessary?
00:00:06.336 --> 00:00:08.505
Just simple mathematics.
00:00:08.588 --> 00:00:11.717
Four million of us,
13 million of them.
00:00:11.008 --> 00:00:13.885
When you're under
constant attack from terrorists,
00:00:13.969 --> 00:00:16.888
the normal rules no longer apply.
00:00:16.972 --> 00:00:18.515
You have to do what you have to do.
00:00:18.598 --> 00:00:21.935
- Including torture.
- Correct. To get information.
00:00:23.228 --> 00:00:24.098
That's why we started
the training facility
00:00:25.999 --> 00:00:27.316
for askares out there
in the hemadulus.
00:00:28.775 --> 00:00:30.402
Do you know what an askare is?
00:00:30.485 --> 00:00:31.862
Uh, yes, I do.
00:00:31.945 --> 00:00:33.078
When you captured a guerrilla...
00:00:33.864 --> 00:00:35.324
Terrorist.
00:00:35.407 --> 00:00:38.452
You beat the shit out of them
until they betrayed their comrades.
00:00:38.535 --> 00:00:41.788
- Then they had nowhere else to go.
- Yeah, they'd change sides,
00:00:41.872 --> 00:00:43.832
and they made the best killers for us.
00:00:43.915 --> 00:00:46.046
Why?
00:00:46.543 --> 00:00:48.879
They'd sell their souls.
00:00:48.962 --> 00:00:50.922
Betrayal. When you despise yourself,
00:00:51.002 --> 00:00:54.176
it makes it much easier to despise others. You must know that.
00:00:55.594 --> 00:00:58.805
Imagine, Langston. Imagine if your people hadn't been taken across the sea.
00:00:58.889 --> 00:01:00.974
Imagine if you'd stayed in Africa.
00:01:01.683 --> 00:01:03.769
What would you have become?
