Every once in awhile you come across a story that clearly illustrates what Christianity is all about.

Among their specialities was what is today known as ‘waterboarding’, when a prisoner undergoes near-drowning.Perceived near drowning.
I'm sure our POWs would've been delighted if the Japanese had simply waterboarded.

I’ve never heard of Japanese waterboarding. What the guy is referring to is a much more painful form of torture described as follows:
Ruthless in the extreme, he loved tormenting us. He especially revelled in a sickening brand of water torture.
He had guards pin down his hapless victim before pouring gallons of water down the prisoner’s throat using a bucket and hose. The man’s stomach would swell up from the huge volumes of water.
Okada would then gleefully jump up and down on him. Sometimes guards tied barbed wire around the poor soul’s stomach. Most died; only a few survived.

Saw a documentary once about Australian POWs during WW II.One former POW said that most of the Japanese guards were vicious beyond belief but one or two were decent to the prisoners...refraining from abuse and giving them extra food.He said that if any other guard had found out and reported it to superiors the decent guards would have been executed on the spot.

One of history's great failures has to be how the Japanese were for the most part, let-off for their war crimes.
Even to this day acknowledgment of war crimes is a rare event in Japan.

He was beaten before he was waterboarded. For the media to try to equate the two is intellectually dishonest.
John McCain had his arms broken by North Vietnamese Communists and the Left LAUGHED at him in the debate in 2008 taking this "odd pose" viral. 
Break their arms and see how THEY like it.
