I fear for our Armed Service Members into the future

[madokie]

I spent about a year and a half, 01'68 - 06'69, stationed at the navy's S.E.R.E. school, up by Warner Springs California, around a 100 people stationed there total at any one time. I had to go through the school to start with, and the instructors there knew if I passed I would be staying on when the class was finished so they did not, or we, when I was later one of them, did not take it easy on the guys who were going to be staying on there with them, or us, so I have a pretty good understanding on what is going on here and in my judgment this using torture to get information is unreliable, which is nothing new and downright cruel, again nothing new but. We always had to have others in the room with the interrogators so as to monitor the progress of the interrogation, cause when you have people under duress you have no idea how they are going to react. Some would break down and cry others shit their pants and still there would be some who would become combative to the point as to things could get out of hand so we always had to have others there to prevent it from, getting out of hand, as it has a want to do. Bushco has shown the utmost disrespect for our Soldiers in uniform as they could have done by instituting this torture policy. Its criminal and they should be held accountable for that.
