It’s like that bunch of late 70’s to mid 80’s movies about how the Vietnamese war was wrong because Our Boys were traumatized by the terrible things they did.

Shedding a tear today to remember the true victims of torture, the torturers.

If it's a text arguing that, in addition to its uselessness as an information gathering device and it's general unethical nature, torture is also bad because of the psychological toll it takes on those who do it, then maybe I could give it a pass. Especially if it discusses the ethics of the decision to torture being made higher up the chain, so the people doing the torturing may not have had a choice in the matter, therefore they might also be considered victims of a sort. I would bet it is instead about how torture is totally cool guys, and we should respect the hard men who made the hard choice to help safeguard their country, especially since they were injured psychologically in the line of duty. I mean, that basically makes them the same as someone whose vehicle got tagged by an IED.

I googled about a bit, here's an excerpt from a review: quote:Phillips sets the book out as an investigation of the self-inflicted death of one US soldier, and his experience of the war. Within that journalistic wrapping, well written as it is, there is a very serious examination of the use of torture in the two wars. The questions explored include how the systematic abuse began, the extent to which it was authorised and directed from above, or equally emerged from the logic of occupation itself. The impact upon both the soldiers and the victims themselves in Iraq and Afghanistan is well handled. The book might appear at a quick glance to be privileging the sufferings of the torturers over the victims, but Phillips in fact avoids this trap and brings home the full horror of the war crimes inflicted upon the occupied populations. https://www.counterfire.org/articles/book-reviews/7698-none-of-us-were-like-this-before-american-soldiers-and-torture
