My response to torture was listed above. We can't condone it because even a little bit will eventually become more.

I'm saying we practice one evil because it involves pretty uniforms.

Physical torture? Riding around in a humvee for hours a day and waiting for a roadside bomb to take your legs off. You are a captive of the situation and the situation has the potential to kill you, but if it does anything other than the scare the shit outta you... it'll just cripple you with dismemberment thanks to the high tech body armor that turns your body into a six-segment sausage. We call that war because it's less personal than a sweaty guy putting cigarettes out on your neck in a damp basement.

Yeah, I'm a dumbass. I shouldn't be posting on this.
