so in a nutshell you consented to be part of a program that may include waterboarding or other forms of torture, the difference is these people did not consent to be part of any programs that included torture.
Either way it is an insane analogy to say waterboarding prisoners is the same as waterboarding trainees, and i would highly doubt the veracity of any claims that if you did not consent to waterboarding you would have been subject to it anyways. Were you aware of what was going to take place at any time before being strapped in ? Were you given the oportunity to stop the procedure at any point ? I would very highly doubt you answer no to either of those questions.
