This is a WAR we are involved in and far too many people have forgotten that. They need to be reminded.
Unfortunately, the majority of American people won't see any of this. I hope FOX stays on course and shows the kind of stuff you suggested. I pray that it might be a wake up call for the left leaning Reps or the Dimocrats. We can only hope.
No wonder the media doesn't show this. It might incite the public to beloeve that the abuses by US troops were trivial in comparison. Can't have that!
The lefties will see it if it's shown on CNN or ABCNBCCBS. Don't hold your breath.
Torture is: electric shocks to a male's genitals, pulling out fingernails, suspending individuals from rotating ceiling fans, dripping acid on a victim's skin, gouging out eyes, and burning victims with a hot iron or blowtorch.
Not putting a womans pantines on a mans head. That is called humiliation not torture.
When I say we need to bring back dueling, the kindest response I usually get is a contemptuous snort.
But look at these statistics from Italy between 1879 and 1889:
There were 2,759 duels reported. Of every 100 duelists, 30 would be military men, 29 journalists, 12 barristers, 4 students, 3 professors, 3 engineers, and 3 parliamentary deputies.
Think of it: that's 827.7 chances to run a journalist through on the field of honor, plus a few whacks at lawyers and even congressmen.
Imagine looking down an epee at Teddy Kennedy. Oh. I may go into fibrillation.
I watched about 10 seconds of it. That was enough. They need to hunt down every single person participating in that flick and execute them. These horrible animals need to stop wasting oxygen that decent humans may have use of.
And we worry about some of these animals having to wear panties? They should be wearing caskets.

Kennedy. Schumer. Waxmen. I wonder how many I could make it through before I ran into someone who was a Yale fencing champ?
The media is way over the top on this, led by the NY Times and Chrissy Matthews. People see it, they wonder what's up, the media is a laughingstock.
If you're a fan of Heinlein, you should try to see what you can glean from his writings regarding the subject of dueling.
I've only recently come to grip with the fact that among us, and in large numbers, are the 'Hate America' crowd.
People understand that America is the leader of the free world, and that we are doing the right thing.
We'll see in November, if the 'panties on the head' reactionaries outnumber the 'saw off his head/hand/tongue' reactionaries (of which I'm one).
Muck the pedia. Sorry.........but I have zero stomach for today's American "news" rooms. They're beneath contempt.
"They're beneath contempt."

"I’ll tell you briefly what I think of newspapermen: the hand of God reaching down into the mire couldn’t elevate one of them to the depths of degradation—not by a million miles."
