3 out of 4 Vietnam era P.O.W.s who were tortured support waterboarding known terrorists....

So, like most of your threads, the thread premise is a shameless lie.

A navy SEAL on waterboarding.....

Former Navy SEAL: Waterboarding, Sleep Deprivation: Just Another Day at the Office

Yet many of my fellow veterans of all branches have undergone these “torture” techniques and worse in preparation to deploy into combat zones.

This criticism of Haspel by both parties has me asking: If they did this to us and we don’t have a problem with it, why are we so concerned about doing this to terrorists to extract vital intelligence to save lives?


Yes, that is correct: many of the veterans you know as fathers, mothers, husbands, cousins, and family friends have endured waterboarding, sleep deprivation, starvation, and much, much more to prepare them for the very real possibility that we might get captured behind enemy lines. Please understand that this training is very well done and takes place in a controlled environment with all of the necessary safety measures. I will never forget my time in SERE (survival, evasion, resistance, escape) school. Although I am very thankful for the lessons I learned there and believe it is one hundred percent necessary to prepare those of us destined to operate in war zones, I will never volunteer to go back. Quite frankly, it sucked!

With Trump's nominee for the CIA get harrassed by a bunch of hypocrites who supported waterboarding when it was actually happening and confirming the CIA director at the time who actually over saw the waterboarding, I think it is important to know that 3 out of 4 Vietnam Era P.O.W.s who were tortuered by the socialists alongside John "asshole" McCain actually support water boarding terrorists.

The 3 men were also P.O.W.s, they also were held for years by the socialists, and they too were horribly tortured....they know what torture is, and they support waterboarding terrorists to save lives...


McCain’s fellow POWs support waterboarding

When I was researching my book, “Courting Disaster,” I interviewed many of them, including Col. Bud Day, who received our nation’s highest award for valor, the Medal of Honor, for his heroic escape from a North Vietnamese prison camp.

When Day was returned to the prison, his right arm was broken in three places and he had been shot in the hand and thigh during his capture. But he continued to resist interrogation and provide false information — suffering such excruciating torture that he became totally physically debilitated and unable to perform even the simplest task for himself. In short, Day is an expert on the subject of torture. Here is what he says about CIA waterboarding:

“I am a supporter of waterboarding. It is not torture. Torture is really hurting someone. Waterboarding is just scaring someone, with no long-term injurious effects. It is a scare tactic that works.”

I asked Day in an e-mail what he would say to the CIA officer who waterboarded Khalid Sheik Mohammed, if he had the chance to speak with him. Day replied immediately: “YOU DID THE RIGHT THING.”

And the other Congressional of Medal Awardee...also agrees......waterboarding is not torture.....

Like Day, Col. Leo Thorsness was awarded the Medal of Honor for extraordinary heroism during the Vietnam War. He experienced excruciating torture during his captivity — his back broken, his body wrenched apart. He says what the CIA did to al-Qaeda terrorists in its custody was not torture:

“To me, waterboarding is intensive interrogation. It is not torture. Torture involves extreme, brutal pain — breaking bones, passing out from pain, beatings so severe that blood spatters the walls . . . when you pop shoulders out of joints.. . . In my mind, there’s a difference, and in most POWs’ minds there’s a difference.. . . I would not hesitate a second to use ‘enhanced interrogation,’ including waterboarding, if it would save the lives of innocent people.”

And the most famous supporter of water boarding......

Another torture victim who supports waterboarding is Adm. Jeremiah Denton — the POW who famously winked the word “T-O-R-T-U-R-E” in Morse code during a North Vietnamese propaganda interview.

It was the first message to the outside world that American prisoners were being tortured. Denton later received the Navy Cross for this courageous and costly act of defiance, for which he paid dearly when his captors figured out what he had done. I asked Denton if he thought waterboarding was torture. He told me:

“No, I think it’s persuasive.. . . The big, monstrous difference here is that the gentlemen we are waterboarding are people who swore to kill Americans. They will wreak any kind of torture just for the hell of it on anybody. When they are captured by the U.S., and we know or have reason to believe that they know of a subsequent event after 9/11, if you don’t interrogate them, more misery will take place.. . . Waterboarding is not an evil. Some of the things they did to us were torture. I passed out a dozen times from torture. We’re not exerting that kind of excruciation.”

You said 3 out of 4, but what you meant was 3 total. You should apply at Breitbart or Infowars or Faux.

McCain is number 4....the other 3 Vietnam era POWs support waterboarding.....

There were 600 POWs how do you account for the other 596?

I don't. The thread title is 3 out of 4...mccain is the 4th, the other 3 support waterboarding terrorist killers vs, letting them get away with murdering more innocent people...

 

[Gracie]

Personally....I think torture is torture...and it has no place in America. Period. Plus, most will say ANYTHING to make the captors happy...even lies. So waterboarding is pretty much worthless.

Americans do not torture

The Nazis and Japanese tortured and we villanized them for it

Now we are the bad guys
