Recently there have been proposals to understand features of QCD such as confinement and chiral symmetry breaking by considering supersymmetric versions of the theory with various patterns of soft breaking. In this note we recall that with small soft breakings, SUSY QCD is suggestive of observed features of real QCD. But we outline some of the challenges to establishing these features of the theory with large soft breakings. It appears difficult to argue for confinement or chiral symmetry breaking; at best, one can say that {\it if} the non-supersymmetric theory does not confine and/or break chiral symmetry, phase transitions would appear inevitable as one increases the soft breakings. We also discuss, at large N, where confinement would imply chiral symmetry breaking, the challenges to establishing confinement.

Anomaly mediation in Seiberg-Witten theories
AMSB on SU(2) Seiberg-Witten theories matches the N=1 SW deformation only perturbatively; nonperturbative effects force different condensates and a vacuum shift across the strong-coupling scale without a phase transition.

Pseudoreal AMSB: Troubling Tensions with Tumbling
AMSB analysis of six pseudoreal gauge theories predicts fully gapped spectra, contradicting tumbling predictions of massless spin-1 bosons.

AMSB in Truly Confining Gauge Theories
Adding small AMSB to t-confining SUSY gauge theories moves the ground state to a superpotential branch and predicts discrete and flavor symmetry breaking such as Z6 to Z2 and Z16 x SU(2) to SO(2).

To Break or Not to Break: A Review of a No-Go Theorem on Chiral Symmetry Breaking in QCD-like Theories
A review showing that if a QCD-like theory with enough massless flavors is fully color-screened in the infrared, then chiral symmetry must be spontaneously broken.
