I absolutely agree with you. To defeat any implacable animal in battle you have to be at least as shrewd as the animal you are fighting, and far more vicious.

What has been reported is not a torture - (breaking, or attempting to break) the body to break the spirit - but rather amateurish attempts to break the spirit through inflicting humiliation. And to break the spirit (aka will to fight) is an absolute necessity in this war. Were it torture, we would be hearing of things qualitatively different.
