It is the reason women should not be on the front lines because their safety from their own troops can not be assured

We couldn't even guarantee their safety here in America
what makes anybody can guarantee it in a war zone
The past history shows that we can't.....it is all documented and then there is those that haven't been documented

the Air Force Academy

and Lackland Air Force Base

With the Suicide Rates up in the services .....something is very fundamentally wrong
programming is breaking down

We have waterboarded our own troops since Rumsfeld and I don't know if it goes back farther
I know of a man who admitted to me he was waterboarded by his own US commanders
They ordered it so he would be able to resist torture by the enemy

What he learned in the excercise was every man can be broken.......but I don't think that was really the objective
It is brain programming

I appeal to those who read this STOP WATERBOARDING OUR OWN TROOPS!
It is going to BACKFIRE
