Did you ever watch "GI Jane". That was it.


It was never considered acceptable under US or international law.

I'm not going to base my philosophy of life or a legal argument on a
movie.


The point is, that was a fairly accurate portrayal of the US special
ops training at the time. If they can do it to US trainees, it would
be assumed, in the field, that you could do it to the enemy.


No. That's completely wrong! Just because our troops are trained to
withstand torture doesn't mean we should torture others.
