A pistol-wielding guard, his snarling alsatian, a blinding spotlight in my face... why did I spend £25 to be tortured in this freezing KGB bunker? As a snarling alsatian growls at my heels, straining at its leash, the fierce KGB interrogator barks in harsh Russian for me to face the wall for a terrifying search.

Once cleared, I am herded with the rest of this ragtag band of ‘dissenters’ to salute the Soviet red flag, our threadbare gulag-issue jackets offering scant protection against the biting Baltic chill.

We are told to stop thinking ‘because the party will do that for you’, while anyone who shows disrespect is forced to the ground and compelled to do punishing press-ups until they fall into line.

Pansy. . . 3hrs? Come on.

Our SERE training is much worse and a heck of lot longer, and back in the day, don’t know how they do it now, physical “motivation” was applied liberally along with the psychological abuse, all based on the Soviet model.

About ten years back a retired British sergeant major opened a similar park in Britain based on the nazi concentration camp model. A weekend was about $300 or so.

I own an old Titan II missile base (a “bunker” for you Oblahblah voters) near Tucson, Arizona.

I was planning to use it for a secure (very,very,VERY) secure storage facility.

Maybe I’m on the wrong track?

Maybe some East German female weightlifters could offer their services to liberal men?

Just sayin’..
