The Vietnamese used the strappado torture method on Americans? That's terrifying stuff.

Yeah. They were pretty brutal. They manacled their hands in front of their body, then passed a rope through the elbows behind the body which they then inserted an iron bar into and twisted the rope until the shoulder joints popped out.

Man. Is that what it is called, strappado?
