Why do soldiers have to go through so much abuse ?

Posted by Happyflower on April 24, 2008, at 13:33:37

I just read something by one of our veterans of what they had to go through in training in order to become ready for being a prisoner of war in case it happens? The one's who can endure the pain and not tell information pass the test.
Is it right that we (from what this veteran said) are abusing our own soldiers to prepare them for this? I am talking about using tazers and cattle prods, not just physical fitness stuff. And that it is frowned on to "tell" what really goes on.
It just makes me sick really.
