torture is something used to inflict pain on the mind or body. While waterboarding may not be physically painful, it can be mentally devastating. I've seen some horror stories of people that could not take showers after extensive waterboarding exposure.
I agree though, we should stop worrying about helping everyone else in the world and just focus on the problems we have here within our borders.
you know what would happen then...devistation, honestly people should shut the f*ck up and worry bout themselves, i serve, and anyone who doesn't agree with what we do needs to go do an ia tour.
i argee that we need to quit dealing with alot of other countries sh*t, we do need to finish what we've started good or bad
the people who were waterboarded could have saved our lives in the u.s. Not to mention our troops.
People who get there ass whooped sometimes scared to go back to that bar, war vets sometimes become hermits....
And to truely understand what your doing to someone else why not have it done to you.
i understand that, but we wouldn't intentionally inflict the same pain on one of our own just so they know how it feels. I went through all the force protection training and i got to feel how awesome it is to get sprayed with o.c. Spray. That sh*t is no joke. We have to go through it in order to be able to use it. It wasn't just a quick spray and you kick and scream for a minute, then head to the dunk tank. Oh no. You got sprayed, then had to complete a course involving hand to hand combat, weapon use and properly detain a person. All while having that sh*t dripping off your face. I know that what we used was the same stuff used on people who are problematic, but the exposure time wasn't as long. Same with waterboarding. The students may be exposed to it for a short time, but not like the people who are being waterboarded for information and all that. I'm sure it sucks ass, regardless.
