I think that was to demonstrate just how agonizing this actually is. One may have laughed or smiled during that, but he didnt, he was in obvious torment and had zero direction towards laughter.

[@makisjnx007]

It's an old morbid joke about torture using a fictional competition among groups of agents of different intelligence agencies of the world, to find who's best they're commissioned to go into a forest an retrieve a bunny rabbit as fast as they can using any methods at their disposal, the fastest one wins the contest, so the CIA goes first takes X amount of time, then KGB goes in takes them less time, then MI5 turn comes and it takes them way less time than the other 2, finally it last turn comes to a thirdworld intelligence agencie, the agents go into the forest and they come back in the longest (some versions the shortest) possible time, also they come out with a complete different animal (like a bear), everyone laughs and asks them what took them so long and also point out that they brought a different animal to which they reply confident by asking the animal "Hey you! What kind of animal are you?" The animal breaks down crying in pain and answers: I am a bunny rabbit! I am a bunny rabbit! I swear I am one! I am anything you want but please stop the insert torture technique here (like waterboarding)... Waterboarding is a long time known torture technique in some countries, like in Mexico, they used a special kind of really bubbly fizzy water, they tie the victim upside-down, give a good shake to the bottle of water and spray it directly into the subject nostrils and repeat until he starts giving the desired information.

CheneyWatch1 I know there different methods. but the cloth and towel is better which was my point you missed. notice how he was still able to breathe? if he was more clam and disciplined he would have lasted way longer. There is a way to continue breathing (not by much) with the SERE method.

[@ryanzer0170]

CheneyWatch1 try not breathing through your nostrils? mind blown!!! when you exhale, squirt any water in your mouth out at the same time. When you breathe in, do not open your mouth as much, and Continue to squirt out any water in your mouth. sounds hard to do? because it is, but it's doable. and also, of course they use way more water than that in a real waterboarding torture. but being declined would make it harder as water will get in your nostrils. just hope they have you flat or "inclined" like you stated.

[@ryanzer0170]

CheneyWatch1 and he could have lasted a little longer if he had discipline. who cares how long I lasted? were you waterboard? I won't be waterboard either, but I had similar situations were I had to do irregular breathing with water involved. you will never last minutes. and I never claimed it. I just simply said I like the waterboard with a towel or cloth. and that he could have lasted longer than he did, if he had not panicked. and also, he should have not answered their questions. he should have just stayed calm and focused.

I'm still just kind of blown away by that.

[@calicoheart4750]

A huge part of it is the restraints. Having control over your limbs means your body is telling you "you csn fight, you can do something, do anything". Being restrained, all your brain can do is scream "you're going to die" over and over.

[@SurvivalMistakes]

Having undergone a session of waterboarding as a video on my own KZbin channel, I can very much empathize with how just how unpleasant and scary the experience of undergoing it is - Zoe x

[@Chris-xs3vu]

Because waterboarding requires people to lie down, the water would just flow into your nostrils by gravity, so the problem isn't about whether or not you can hold your breath. The water just straight up flows down your nose, effectively causing you to passively 'breathe in water', and thus, causing extreme distress. That is unless you can exhale with such force that you can blow out all water that is flowing in your nose, otherwise, the water would just flow into the nose and down your lungs. Though you could block the path of the water down your nose with your tongue, this prevents any further breathing and the water flooding your nose would extremely torturous anyways. Once you are unable to hold your breath anymore, things become very exciting.

[@sierraburmese4083]

[@lynette599]

@@sierraburmese4083 LOL

[@JajaTheBalls]

Holding your breath wouldn't change anything because the receptors of your airways will feel the water obstructing them making you go in panic mode. Also, you have a limited expiratory volume and the water flows constantly, and your tongue won't be able to block the water going to your lungs through the nasal pathways. All that to say I think anyone would panic within 5 seconds.

Even brain-washing techniques, such as sleep deprivation, isolation, disorientation, light deprivation, etc. with the implantation of false memories in the sub-conscious, may serve in the subject admitting tearfully to the admission of all sorts of crimes before a People's Court may be of use, but is of no use when trying to extract genuine valuable information!

i still don't get why you can't hold your breath in that situation. when i'm diving and turning headsup i just put a bit of pressure in my nose so nothing can get in and i can remain quite a while like this. is it because it's not a steady flow of water so you can build that pressure? i assume it somehow must just go in your nose with any ways to prevent it.

[@freestylestuntkayak]

I also still dont get it. Could you be trained to stay calm and hold your breath? As a stuntkayaker the first thing you go through is learning to stay calm underwater for 60 seconds while strapped in and upside down. It was quite easy. I did experience a near-drowning due to being trapped underwater. It was bad, but I have no idea how that compares to waterboarding

[@grobsop6688]

1:50 Lol, you truly broke in an instant.

[@thewarlordscalling6537]

this is part of seal team six training. Those guys are legit warriors

[@noahlakes4487]

The people in this comment section are downright terrible people. You say that the man was a coward for not being able to endure the torture - it was torture! And there are others saying that the method was not done in the correct way to make it as painful as possible, without realising how sick you are. Go ahead, support people who want to use this on others for their own terrible actions. Just know that if we keep on trying to one-up each other on who can be more cruel, we're doomed.

[@MrIncorr3ct]

thats not how ive seen it demonstrated... they used a towel over the face and poured it onto the towel. this means you cant breath in or hold ur breath. much worse

[@jordanpillinger7337]

you liberals used to be leaders of freedom but now are just trash

[@notanarsonist7348]

Jordan Pillinger o- ok?

[@dave1927p]

so was he born a bunny rabbit or just identifies as one?

[@SarahDawesFilms]

Brilliant comment lol 😂😂

[@garryharriman7349]

'How did that feel, bright eyes.....burning in like fire?'

[@hannah-nn7wo]

Drowning and suffocating is my worst fear, I couldn’t deal with this

[@mjenkins91]

There’s not even a towel? That’s the whole key to a water boarding? this dude was playing into it. He knew what the cameras wanted and why he was there.

[@CaspersSVT]

“Roll To The Right, Roll To The Right”. The Entire Time He Is Rolling To His Left Side. DuH!

[@jcar2412]

Dude lasted 18 seconds. Average person can hold their breath for 2 minutes.

[@Br0teas]

This made a very good point, torture does not work to get effective answers.

[@buuzzsawtouchedme194]

+Matthew Brough, exactly, as people will say anything to escape torture, as it's kind of natural to do that. But what if you think someone does have the answers you want? Well again, people will say anything, so they can always lie, and if you found out that person to be lying, of course you'd never know as your reaction would be "people will say anything to escape torture".

[@THECrackasaurus]

Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say.

[@lulumoon6942]

Totally agree!

[@clubalbert]

that's nothing compared to what they do to the people in Guantanamo Bay

[@clubalbert]

***** if you bothered to check out the interviews with the victims you would know

[@Bobby_boucher31]

"People." I hardly consider terrorists people.

[@clubalbert]

+Bobby Boucher anybody can end up in Guantanamo Bay even you but all the detainees there are called terrorists without due process. shouldn't everybody be innocent unless proven guilty?

[@juanllorente3504]

+Egalitarian Ethos Oh yes, ythe other day I went to the super market and they ended up taking me to Guantanamo Bay. This war cannot be fought with democratic rules, The sooner we understand that the most likely will be that the good ones, wins this war.

Waterboarding in guantanamo bay sounds like fun if you don’t know what either of those are. -reddit

Is this an advert??

[@earlgrey6375]

Yes, for Black Water Military Contractors.

[@biggiesmallsyalls7674]

Earl Grey BlackWater or Academi doesnt do any of this shit. They are just veterans who fill in the gaps where we need more troops

[@samhudson390]

"We cant broadcast all the details." It's simple! Either lay them flat on the ground or preferably on an incline with their feet higher than their head. Put a bag/rag(doesnt matter as long as its fabric) over their face, making sure to completely cover their eyes, nose, and mouth. Then pour water over their mouth and nose area. Don't just empty a bottle on them though, they could get injured/die. You have to use splashes or short pours. You could probably figure it out as you're doing it and be just fine. Stay classy, San Diego. Those guys seemed like they were having a little too much fun.

[@pear-zq1uj]

cant even imagine experiencing this irl by a hostile enemy, must be so damn scary

[@TT-rq3so]

Imagine being the guy that thought of this torture

[@b.p.emma.]

its so weird. it doesnt even look that bad... i cant imagine how it feels when it looks so just... annoying more than anything

[@sadas3190]

Er, no. Waterboarding is not just pouring water over the face and shouting in a ridiculous accent.

[@Unyt]

The hardest part looks like having water squirted or squeezed down ur nose

[@ShiningN0vA]

The woman was only there for the shocked face 😂

[@another420day]

Fail!!! I breath through my ears.

[@aneeshprasobhan]

I think Trump will legalise this again

[@iorbit]

Yea. Like it atcually matters to the american intelligence agaencies if it's leagal or not.

[@tamamanitohei9334]

iorbit That's coming from someone who can't spell "legal."

[@iorbit]

Tamama Nitohei yes

[@Royalbakester]

I was just looking for people riding waves on boards and came across this 💀

[@lorriesmith5086]

There's a medical procedure that's also the same as water boarding. I cannot recall what it's for, cleaning the lungs or something. Anyone know?

[@DBSmith-]

I came here after hearing about Donald Trump's latest statements.

[@ecdesperados5524]

Cameron Smyllie -1000 subs without any good content I wouldn't mind you getting waterboarded

[@this_is_afiq]

Donald Trump wants waterboarding to be legal in US? He should try waterboarding first himself for 1 minute. :)

[@AbovyantsiAper]

Exactly why I came to this video

[@minnakay6378]

+Nur Afiq Bin Mahadi Why should he, he never killed anyone. This is a torture method to extract information from an insider terrorist/criminal who won't confess up. This isn't for a random civilian, this is to get more information from a criminal we happen to have alive on our hands.

[@this_is_afiq]

+The Screaming Midget there are still other ways to extract information with showing mercy. If the person is at fault, still a person must not be tortured. If you have simply broken a law, there are consequences but not torturing or tormenting the guy. Waterboarding is one of the few most dangerous torture method. If you don't drown from it, you may unlikely suffer from lung infection due to liquid entering their lungs.

[@minnakay6378]

Nobody would get waterboarded for jaywalking. Nobody would get tortured for mugging or robbing or even raping. This is a more serious method for hard criminals and terrorists...you can either maintain peace for innocent civilians or you can show love and affection for killers and terrorists. You cannot do both at the same time. "Lung infections" are nothing. To be honest, I would support much more serious torture methods for brainwashed terrorists who actually think that killing Americans and Europeans will give them eternal paradise. If I could, I would kill them with my bare hands. Those kinds of creatures are not people at all. Once you can kill an innocent person with no remorse, thinking that a "god" will be satisfied, you've lost all mental sanity and such vulgar acts don't show a human's empathy or conscience. Waterboarding isn't for people who broke a law - there are many people that rob / steal / kill accidentally or while suffering from mental disorders, etc. and those people need therapy primarily. I don't mean to sound cruel, and I understand your point, but it's necessary to remember that in such situations you can either protect your country or protect the people who want to destroy it. If we continue to let people step on us, that would destroy more lives than if we stopped ISIS, etc. instead. Not that I think waterboarding will be that useful. These are people who are so brainwashed from the day they were born, being told that America was the enemy and we deserve to be killed. The number of supporters / people funding ISIS, al Qaeda, etc. are no joke - there are too many people involved. There are so many people who even don't publicly support or fund them, but they support them internally / mentally, you know? It's crazy shit, I also wish we weren't at this point.

[@this_is_afiq]

+The Screaming Midget No matter how harsh is the crime that a person has committed, that doesn't mean the person must be tortured to be interrogated for information. You got the wrong idea. Small or big crime, there has a consequences for the person who commited a crime. And no torture should be legal whether by a higher class citizen or higher authorities. But there are consequences and punishment but no torturing methods to be involved.

[@J-rizzyRoush-qh6gg]

Thanks for the idea😊

[@Shlooomth]

I wanted them to ask him afterwards if he remembered what he confessed to.
