It's extremely taboo to talk about and has been for almost two decades, but the waterboarding talking point was very overblown. When people talk about the ticking time bomb scenario as some kind of contrivedly troubling trolley-problem/dust-specks ethics thought experiment, the "torture" they're picturing is some kind of horrifying maybe-lethal-but-certainly-disfiguring Middle Ages dungeon shit, not a college-hazing-level trick we're willing to do to our own guys as a training exercise.

Well there were those guys who were like “waterboarding ain’t shit do me” but were then bowled over but you wonder whether they were really trusting in an “iron self-confidence” that really relied on breath techniques

like the fact I was able to make plans no breath that time I heimliched myself really was significant
