if it was torture when your enemy did it to your soldiers, the passage of a few years certainly shouldnt make it not torture. 

if in fact the terrorists waterboarded our soldiers, that was the least of their worries.

waterboaarding is nothing compared to the horrific tortures and maiming that they did to our men. 

the terrorists actually did torture, you know the kind that causes actual physical damage to you.

waterboarding is just emotional damage.

by the way, the picture in the OP, is one of our military men voluntarily undergoing waterboading. performed by a superior officer

so basically drowning someone repeatedly is emotional damage? I;d say its physical torture.

so the US miliary drowned their own soldiers?

no gets drowned, it makes you feel like your drowning, causing a state of panic almost instantly.

no physical damage is done at all. after it happens, you are still perfectly heathy, body as heathy as it was before. no damage whatsoever. the only thing it does is cause fear and panic. you arent hurt at all. thats why there are people who volunter to have this done to them

not being able to breath at all due to water in nose and mouth. Meaning if they go to long you will die. It is very easy for humans to suffocate if they don't act specifically how people doing it to you want or your captures don't do it right.

Also what the hell is your definition of hurt? making someone mentally suffer is still causing mental harm to someone. Mental harm can be much more damaging to an individual than physical harm in most cases.

yes, if they keep you submurged in water, you will die, the thing is they dont. they kinda want them alive, you know, for like, intel.

not exactly like the rack, or knee splitter.

 

anyway, so you think we tortured our own soldiers then?
