I can't tell my soldiers to try to take a particular type of soldier alive -- only all or nothing. If I tell them to just use blunt, then my troops are at an extreme disadvantage. If I don't, then it's a crapshoot.
Ignoring that, it's a separate, crappier crapshoot to see if I can even find an enemy army I can take on, and when I find one, I need to hope it has the rank and kind that I need.
But the most infuriating thing is when I am sent to capture spearmen and trained spearmen won't do. Apparently knowing which end of the stick to poke into the enemy makes them too good to trade away. Damn I wish I could just hand over any kind of troop. Or maybe I could just buy that troop from a ransom broker.
Above all, it pisses me off that I lose face for declining this type of quest in the first place. I can't tell my king, "with respect, I am a soldier, not a manhunter" or "fetch quests can burn in hell."
