2. Good letter! All it needs is a reference to the FACT that because the U.S. tortures, our Military

will be tortured whenever they find themselves in any enemy's hands. Thus, people who think it is okay for U.S. to torture, don't care that

our own Soldiers, Airmen, Marines, Troops of anykind WILL BE TORTURED.



Aside from that fact, it is documented in Military histories that when the enemy knows they will not be tortured, they are more likely to surrender and, thus, American Soldiers' lives are spared. An enemy who knows they are going to be tortured fights on and on and on and on . . . .

Thus, those who support American Torture, DON'T CARE that additional American Military WILL, IN FACT, DIE, because "we" Torture.
