Soldier accused of Waterboarding his 4 year old Daughter

Way to scar the poor kid for life. The article mentioned that the dad used this "technique" because she was afraid of water. Yes, and I'm sure she a) loves water now and b) will recite the alphabet for you. Come on, seriously?

Not a great education or reinforcement method. And adds to Tacoma's bad name (although I did get married near there). Wow. Who in their right mind would use torture tactics on a CHILD?? Apparently, he was far from in his right mind. Kind of raises the issue of PTSD, if this is how far it can push some people.

I was wondering about that.

Agreed. I currently work in the mental health field with veterans, and I doubt that a mentally healthy/sound human being would attempt something of this nature. [This certainly doesn't excuse the behavior though].
