And what part of this “Hell Week” training is pain and fear?

What part of carrying 120 lb. pack in 115 degree desert heat, without knowing where the enemy is, or where the next IED is buried, is pain and fear?

We were discussing torture as a tool for "enhanced interrogation." The point here is not pain and fear in themselves, but the deliberate infliction of such in order to impair another person's rational faculties --- their control over their own thoughts and actions.
Pain and fear in training are a different thing altogether. I believe they're intended actually to increase the trainee's ability to control his thoughts and actions despite extreme duress.
