The recent attacks on the presidents nominee, Gina Haspel, for the top spot in the CIA due to her involvement in the use of enhanced interrogation techniques by our DOD after 9/11 have me confused.
As a member of the U.S. military, I myself had to endure many of these same techniques. For the record, I am far from the only one.
This is a very controversial topic. Many senators, like former prisoner of war Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), stand in opposition to Haspels nomination, stating that Her refusal to acknowledge tortures immorality is disqualifying. Democrats like Kamala Harris were very displeased that they could not get Gina Haspel to agree that the enhanced interrogations utilized in the past were immoral and unethical.

I’m just glad I went through flight school & the included “Land Survival” before all this was introduced. All we had was three days of being hungry and eating a snake or two.
Parris Island was enough ‘fun’ along those lines...
::Democrats like Kamala Harris were very displeased::
That demented person would be displeased if the sun was covered by clouds when she got up in the morning. I’ll say it again - those democrat women are so smug, they are just asking for a punch in the nose. How do they manage to get through each day without someone taking a poke at them? All of them-Hillary, Warren, Maxine, etal.
Why do they feel it necessary to be “in your face” constantly? Do they ever consider just trying to be NICE - an odd concept, I know!
That sort of training went on not far from you in the ‘50’s-’60’s, didn’t it, at Stead AFB? I see it was closed down in the ‘60’s. Was it the complaining about the survival training that pushed that? My husband was at McClellan in the ‘50’s and went through that training at Stead.
About 2miles from our house. Astronauts trained out here early on also.
They wanted to call her Country a “war criminal” during the sessions and she refused - she’s smarter and classier (and a LOT more patriotic) than the whole bunch of them.
Yup. On 9/12/2001 none of them cared what was done to get the info needed to keep us safe. Now they’re on their high horse (unicorn?) playing Wednesday morning quarterback. “F” and their unicorn. mc-friggin’-lame too.
