JBLM (Lewis/McChord) is a joint base...Army / Air Force.

I assume this guy was Army.

Dunked in a bucket of water is not waterboarding.
It's dunked in a bucket of water.

Good God man...there unfortunately are tons of child abuse cases all the time. And there are much more child abuse cases by civilians then by the military:

WTF are you talking about? Me, nor any of the other hundreds of soldiers i have worked with/met, have ever been waterboarded. The worst thing that happens to us is going through the gas chamber in basic, and that was just to get us to trust our gas masks.

Yay for you having no idea what you are talking about, and making up things on the spot to try and support your justification for torture.

SERE training involves a version of water-boarding; every aircrew in the USAF
is required to take a SERE / CAC (conduct after capture) course.

2.3.4.3.2.1. Wartime/Prisoner of War (POW):

2.3.4.3..1.4. Determine various methods of exploitation and their effects on the
prisoner. techniques, and procedures (TTP) in captivity.

2.3.4.3.2.2.2. Identify the primary methods of exploitation.

.

Just because you weren't trained, doesn't mean the training doesn't exist:

No, you didn't respond to it. Your logic used fell apart at the seams. I can name dozens of policies that aren't torture that are acceptable to use on an adult and not a child.

Keep feeling sorry for the mastermind of 9/11 while we save our pity for those more worthy. Let's see how many terrorists libs bring us.

Ya, and a blog saying as many as 40,000 being water boarded, isnt exactly fact.

yes, ever airman might go through SEER, but it would only be level 1 for 90% of them, which would amount to a few class room sessions and maybe some hands on training. The only people that would actually be trained to withstand torture, are high risk of actually being in situations of being captured, which is no where near 40,000.

So again, no where near thousands of soldiers are being water boarded.

Ya, cause no innocent Iraqis have been apprehended for no reason, and subjected to waterboarding.... Nope, its only used on the top leaders who plan the attacks.

Here's a tip...your opinion is NOT fact. Jeez! Did you even read the article?


BTW, the levels are A,B,C, D...NOT 1,2,3,4

Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape

Even IF true (a big if), that statement has no link whatsoever to this story.
