I wen through the same stuff with the gas chamber in Basic in 89, and also several times when I was in law enforcement.
At basic we were also forced to stand in formation in our underwear in -7 degree weather because someone left their wall locker open. About 1/2 the platoon was diagnosed with frostbite after this and were tagged with white tags on their uniforms. Would that be considered torture under Obama?
They showed the terrorist were made to stand with their hands against the wall with their feet spread, and they called that torture? We had to do the same thing, but with a rifle in our hands. And you better not drop the rifle or would be outside in the "pit" which was mud and sawdust with a nice layer of ice from the cold. You would be low crawiling back and forth until the drill sergeant got tired. I won't even go into the stuff that was done to us during S.E.R.E. (Survive, Evade, Escape, Resist) training.
