1) How is 1 day of withholding rations starving anyone? I have a feeling you talk to men that have been in battle in any war and they may have gone a day without eating or sleep because they lacked the rations.
I have gone a day without food a few times and it hasn't killed me, never once made me sick, except for a few hunger pangs, I didn't feel in bad shape at all.
2) This was a POW, NOT a civilian. There is a difference. Also this man was being punished because of behavior problems. I look at it much like a parent sending a child to bed without dinner.
If this is your definition of torture, then we are in trouble and I thank God you are not in power.
