Huh? How on earth does that follow? In the UK beatings by pretend foreign
mil interrogators had to be suspended after they killed a couple of
squaddies...& that was just "in training".

However, just out of interest does this mean that US service people have to
create pyramids with each other while naked or have to be revived suffering
hypothermia? How about filming them pretending to masturbate while naked?

Gee there's a whole side to US service life I'd never realised.
