re: #501 MacGregor

Here’s a NAVY seal being waterboarded. (08:45) When we do this to our own troops in training, is it torture?

Waterboarding Historically Controversial:

In the post-Vietnam period, the Navy SEALs and some Army Special Forces used a form of waterboarding with trainees to prepare them to resist interrogation if captured. The waterboarding proved so successful in breaking their will, says one former Navy captain familiar with the practice, “they stopped using it because it hurt morale.”
