      They had to do that because of Ryan's decision's and incompetence, I'm astounded that anyone reads or listens to him at all.Why don't we insert ourselves into the Iraqi desert with no way of escaping because we are on foot.The only team leader to adopt this method.He should have been court martialed,never mind writing book's.

    I saw on another video with a former CIA employee that the "lie detector" test is also used to identify topics that are potentially sensitive or inflammatory to the interviewee. Whether it's a lie or not, comes down to subsequent questioning by the interrogator; but it can also be used to figure out further lines of questioning/pressure points etc.

    There is a lot about UKSF Selection mentioned by a lot of forner SF soldiers. Nit much is known or mentioned about this final phase. It is most likely the most closely guarded aspect of Selection. Many people who have made outstanding times on the hills and/or displayed quintisential solidering skills in the jungle have fell short during this final phase. Imagine all of that effort, 5-6 months disolving in an instant. It goes to illustrate how SF members must as mentally robust as they are physically.

I noticed the same with the "aeromedical training school" I went to (and received the "distinguished graduate award" from). Water Boarding is OVER RATED. Not hard at all. He's right.
