Don't Know who wrote this ....but excellent read......


My fellow veterans please forgive me. But I must purge my soul. I only
ask that you reserve judgment until you read all of if. I
only want peace for all and a world free of torture.

What I saw in the military was much worse than water boarding. The
prisoners were taken to a 12 foot deep pool. Feet weighted
they were forced into the pool. Those who hesitated, were
moved onto a plank high above the pool and forced off. They
were to stay in this deep water for over an hour feet
weighted and in full clothing. Those who touched the side of
the pool had their fingers stepped on by angry guards. Not
enough to break their fingers as that would reveal this
terrible secret but just enough to inflect severe pain
without detectable injury. The guards knew their craft well.
Like water boarding, the prisoners were not allowed to
drown. No, that would expose the cover-up.

It gets worse!

I must tell all! They were then taken to a wooden building
far from the main complex. A lantern like device burned in
the middle of the building. It gave off a horrible gas. The
prisoners were forced to run around the lantern without the
benefit of the gas masks worn by the guards and sing in
their native language their countrys patriotic
songs. I saw them with my own eyes as they were finally
released from the windowless building: eyes red, mucus
flowing uncontrollably from their mouths and noses. Some
looked near death. A spec of humanity prevailed as they were
allowed to recover for several minutes before being taken to
the bleachers.

The prisoners
were taken to the bleachers. I think there were about one
hundred of them. They were not restrained, no that would
blow this horrible trick. The bleachers were located in a
bug infested marsh. Those prisoners who moved their hands in
any effort to ward of the flying bugs were severely
punished.

Mockingly, the guards in the native language of the prisoners said that
their bugs had to eat too. The guard threw a
dud hand grenade into the helpless group. He laughed as they
scattered in terror. The prisoners were regathered and
prepared for more.

I saw one prisoner taken out of out of line in just his shorts which
were on backwards. Horrible sexual innuendos and insults
were directed at him. I saw a tear roll down his cheek.

The prisoners were United States Marine recruits.

The torture described above was part of their
training. The guards were drill instructors. The above is
why we shake our heads in disbelief when water-boarding,
bugs, and loud music are described as torture by the main
stream press.

The above prepared us for combat so that fair-weather pacifists can
stand on our street corners only in the best of weather. God
forbid, they should be out in the cold or even worse the
rain as that would resemble water-boarding.

Right around the part about the gas chamber, I thought this sounded remarkably familiar. A well written piece. Thank you for posting it, SSgt.

i thought it definatly sounded familiar at the gas chamber, but when it said that the dummy grenade was thrown in the middle of the crowd it dawned on me.
