I took basic training in July and August at Camp (now Fort)Hood, Texas. July and August in that part of Texas is almost as bad as the same months in Arizona. So it was no cake walk, but I wouldn't describe it as torture. Neither would I describe as torture the treatment our prison guards expose the detainees to at Gitmo. Torture is life threatening. None of that has been charged at Gitmo, FBI reports or not.
