My question is rather straightforward: Is making someone stand for long periods of time torture? My wife, when she worked retail, was literally on her feet for 8 to 10 hours a day. I do consider it hard, but hardly torture.Was it done in conjunction with denying her fluids and the store temperature being 120 degrees?

I didn't see anything about dening fluids and although I wasn't there, the temp was not 120 for the entire 10 hours and they did sit 10 minutes per hour.
I agree, this is hard and extremely painful, but is it torture? As the Cpl asked, is "prolonged standing and sleep deprivation" torture?
