I got waterboarded in SERE School, twice, many many years ago prior to deploying to VN. It sucked but it wasn’t torture.

Me TOO! Warner Springs
Yeah, I got waterboarded too.
To the point of unconsciousness. They never asked me a question, just the LtJG pilot that was forced to watch.
Later in the course he told me he eventually relented when he saw I wasn’t moving or struggling anymore and had to be revived by the docs.
I tend to think it’s torture.
And I would gladly apply it to a terrorist if I thought I could extract useful information.
It’s not at all as tame as depicted in the media. The Khmer Rouge style of waterboarding is quite violent and can be a life-altering event.
And that’s what was practiced in Navy SERE in 1978 in Warner Springs.
