Great numbers of our own service members endured this treatment as part
of SERE ( survival, evasion, resistance and escape) training prior to
deployment to Viet Nam in the 60’s, myself included. This is
obviously not a pleasant experience, but in no way constitutes torture.
The only permanent effect it has on you, is you are damn sure you
don’t want to repeat.

Very enlightening, you have to watch this!!!!

This is awesome!Â* Watch it and understand why we have the best
military in the world.Â* There is no permanent damage done but the
response is immediate.Â* A much more humane and effective way to obtain
critical intelligence quickly without brutalizing the prisoner. Sure
beats electrocution, ripping off finger nails, acid showers,
whippings/beatings, cutting off limbs, removing eyes & tongues,
drilling out teeth, dislocating shoulders, burning and other ways the
muslims use.

Playboy.com journalist Mike Guy underwent waterboarding by a trained
member of the U.S. military in the site's new Lab Rat feature.

Guy bet that he could endure 15 seconds of the interrogation technique
used by the Bush administration on al Qaeda chief Khalid Sheikh
Mohammed and Abu Zubaydah..
