Just when you think humans can't stoop any lower, a story like this surfaces.

Police were called by neighbours when Sgt Joshua Tabor was seen trying to break windows, and found the girl hiding in a bathroom.

A US soldier has been charged with assault after allegedly waterboarding his four-year-old daughter, police in the state of Washington have said.

Sgt Joshua Tabor dunked the girl's head in a sink full of water for not reciting the alphabet, police in the town of Yelm said.

Waterboarding is an interrogation technique that simulates drowning and has been banned as torture by the US.

Whats so surprising in all this? US army is full of such perverted, low IQ, shameless and retarded people. It s because of such people in the US Army that crimes against humanity are comminted and the entire western civilization gets blamed for it. What is even more scary is the fact that many of these psychos actually make it to higher ranks... God help this planet and God help the humanity.
