What It's Like At The Training Camp Where US Troops Learn To Survive If They Are Captured
2015-01-21
As I sat there wondering what was going to happen next a wide variety of psyops stuff blared through the speaker mounted high in one corner of the small cell. A mind-numbing cacophony of an out-of-control saxophone was followed by Rudyard Kipling reciting his poem "€œBoots" over and over in a very haunting voice. (No one who ever attended Navy SERE will forget "€œBoots."€)

#5  Why don't you call your mother?
When are you getting married, we're not getting any younger you know.

#4  My son in law is a crewman on a E-3 and he gets waterboarded about once a year for refresher training.

What sort of questions do you put to him during these sessions Bill ?

#3  Some of the tortures, particularly the ones regarding defacing Christian Bibles and American flags, sound eerily similar to the types of things children are subjected to on a verbal level in public schools and in universities these days.

#1  Very interesting.

I am surprised the article didn't mention waterboarding. My son in law is a crewman on a E-3 and he gets waterboarded about once a year for refresher training.

I was waterboarded in my Army escape and evasion course and was waterboarded for a "refresher" one other time when I was on assignment with Westport.

Do you suppose the article deliberately took out any references to waterboarding to play to the DiFi narrative about CIA torture?
