First of all, "hardcore senior officers?" Nice choice of words by that ignorant slut.
And refuting her "torture stopped" claim by those unnamed hardcore officers we have By John L. Frisbee in Valor en Masse [emphasis added]
Torture was not used primarily to obtain military information, but to break a prisoner's will, force him to betray his comrades, and extort letters or tapes condemning US policy and praising the leniency of his captors. The prisoners were viewed by North Vietnam as a propaganda tool to fan the flames of antiwar sentiment in this country. To some extent that scheme backfired when the barbarism engulfing the prisons became known in 1969. Only then did POW life begin to improve, slowly and with many reversions.
Note too the aim of the dinks in applying the torture. Our brave captives paid dearly for holding out and each bit of propaganda thus obtained had a cost in blood. Jane gave them the same thing for free. Gee, she really is a slut isn't she?
for Tonk
If I’m remembering the classes I got on racial and ideological, geographical, differences in interrogation, the North Vietnamese were, as you said, not so much interested in military information as they were in getting your mind “right”
When I was a kid, the nightmare scenario (maybe it came from a sci-fi book) was for you to be tortured, and to learn that you had no information that they cared about, and to learn that they knew that already.
Why are we wasting this many minutes of our Lifes on this total POS
And please dont buy, borrow, Kindle, or Nook tbis book. She must make NO $$$ off her disgusting “memoirs”
