Okay... How the CRAP do you capture enemies? If I issue the "search" order like it says in the mannual, my team won't go capture guys, they just won't do anything ("search complete. Weapons found: 0. docs found:0, etc.) How do you do it?

You can only capture VCs when they surrender to you, which you'll know when they yell "Chu Hoi!" (which means "Open Arms" in Vietnamese and was the signal used by surrendering VCs as well as the name of the program to handle them in the Vietnam War) and stand with their hands up. Then you can issue a search order and your teammates will bag him. Usually they will surrender after you've wounded them a bit, but sometimes when you encounter an isolated VC he will surrender without fighting (just the other day I had a VC pop up out of nowhere right near my squad and surrender before anyone even spotted him). Some of them will choose to fight to the death and obviously you will not be able to capture them. A good strategy to capture VCs is to sneak up to one and throw a tear gas grenade at him, and then open up with a submachine gun or pistol which is more likely to wound than kill him (in reality, SEALs used submachine guns during snatch operations for this reason). Remember to issue a cease fire order as soon as you hear "Chu Hoi!". You should also give your teammates prisoner handling kits, otherwise there is a bigger chance you will lose the captured VC if you make contact.
