I've never been drunk, but my father has once. So around Christmas time, he was drinking a little too much with a couple friends and I walk into the room and sit down and talk with them (most of them are sober/only tipsy). So we get on the topic of Christmas and then we talk about actual presents. Then my dad lists off every one of my gifts that "Santa" got me that year. Needless to say I was extremely surprised when I opened up my presents the next morning :roll:

This does not mean the Geneva Convention is useless, does not mean the soldiers did not commit a jarhead war crime, and does not support your statements by any stretch of the most creative imaginations. The fact that it happens does not change its legal standing or its justification as such; it just means that people are barbaric and criminal and have no respect for international law or foreign policy, and cannot think about the potential consequences of their actions on American image any farther than they can piss.

Jokes in international legislation are useless.

A soldier's life is service to his country, and I'd expect a soldier to care about the ideals he is fighting for in the first place.

Wow, this is disturbing. If a soldier was caught waterboarding prior to this whole "enhanced interrogation" fiasco, they would be court-martialled and then dishonorably discharged, as was the case for soldiers during Vietnam, for example. It is a punishment, it is torture, it goes against the geneva conventions, and it is unconstitutional.-Sun_Tzu-

[QUOTE="cpo335"][QUOTE="-Sun_Tzu-"] And nowhere in that definition does it say anything about long lasting physical harm. Virtually everyone who has been waterboarded will tell you it is torture. This isn't even up for debate. This has only been a controversy since 2004, when the Bush Administration called it "enhanced interrogation". It's pretty scary how Orwell wrote about this exact thing, over a half century ago; about how language can corrupt thought. Waterboarding or any other "enhanced interrogation" method would undoubtedly be considered "cruel and unusual punishment" thus violating the 8th amendment of the constitution, and it also violates the Geneva conventions.
