Pfft. “The military acts a certain way because they kill things.” This comment demeans men. Thank god the modern army is moving to more professionalism.
Er, SERE techniques are wimpy. If thousands of American soldiers can get through it without physical after effects, it ain’t that much. The torture used during the Cold War was actual torture—you’d be lucky to live. However, there’s never been scientific studies comparing regular interrogation techniques (often not even used by military interrogaters) and torture interrogation with people who actually had reason to resist. MK-Ultra was very much about studying torture techniques, but only on regular American citizens, and no comparison was used.
Jeff was such a cute child…
