“Waterboarding does not and has been shown to be effective regardless of what the media says.”
There are at least 300 Vets with PTSD and/or Anxiety Disorder from waterboarding.
Is that a permanent “wound”?
That was a gentle child’s game compared to a real waterboarding.
I dunno, if you think, “I ought to try that to see what it’s like”, then it’s not top-grade torture.
Who ever thinks “I should see how long I can stand being naked in a 40 degree cell” or “I should jam things under my fingernails to see how much pain I can stand”.
This is exactly what our troops go through. Hence the reason I had three qualified special operatives who’ve performed this hundreds of times each.
I was waterboarded in Navy SERE and it’s nothing like what I went through.
Not even close.
