Ahem, I "observed" an question and answer session of a US Intel officer on the opforces on war games in Germany.

Officer was tied with his hands behind the tree in a kneeling position. Two buckets of water were provided one of warm water, one of cold. Outside temp was about 38 degrees.

Questions were asked. Cooperative answers or correct answers earned a 1/4 cup of warm water that was poured over the officers head. Uncooperative answers or down right lies were treated with a splash of 1/4 cup cold water.

Again I "observed" the Intell officer provide full details of enemy forces operations in less than 1 hour. He was very cooperative very quickly.

The "Peoples' Pool" [at the Marine Corps E&E School, Pickel Meadows] was a tad rougher than that and much quicker. All Marine single seat drivers were required to attend The Most Excellent Pickel Meadows Sierra Mountain Birdwatching and Alpine Wonder Tour. Yes Indeed.
