Excellent post! Thank you.
Was this a one time event? Would something happen tomorrow...or the next day or the next day.
This was war. You do what ya gotta do.
So Proud of President Bush and Rudy Guiliani standing in the midst of it all.
No one was connecting the dots. They were asleep......
I served with a man who went through this training.
America will never understand the level of devotion that protects her.
They are “immoral or unethical” if they continue after the collecting of the needed information. Waterboarding and many other forms of interrogation are there as a threat if they wish to bring it upon themselves. If the information they have that can, and often does, save innocent lives from both sides, is released, it never starts. The decision to be interrogated is this manner is that of the interrogated. It doesn’t have to happen if you give the info. Choose wisely.

I got waterboarded in SERE School, twice, many many years ago prior to deploying to VN. It sucked but it wasn’t torture.
If another terror attack happens in a Dem city, I’ll have a Coke.
Unless you’re a Muzzie, little Johnny McPain or a ‘RAT sissy boy. Then it’s “living hell”. LOL.
I support waterboarding and every other discomfort technique using on us during SERE training and now called enhanced interrogation methods. I took my SERE training in Little Creek, Virginia in 1969. The water boarding brings on panic and lots of it, but a half minute after it’s over and you’ve coughed out all the water, you are fine.
As for the box. I don’t know why it is considered so bad. You have to sit hunched over, because it’s not high enough to sit up straight, but I liked it, because it was dark and gave me an opportunity to get 10 or 15 minutes of sleep.
I didn’t like the rifle butts though (rifles had a an extra thick rubber pad on the butt). Rifle butts would leave a light bruise, but nothing permanent. I must have gotten 40 or 50 of these. We had one SEAL in my SERE group, several officers up to the rank of Navy Captain, and several of the guys I went through Boat School with (they would call us SWCCs today).
I have to admit, SERE was the most uncomfortable 6 weeks of my life, and I would not want to repeat it, but there was no permanent injury and I fully support its use on any captured terrorist (maybe even to a level past that I experienced).
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.
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.
