the fact that the Kentucky Ballistics guy not only survived a 50cal sniper rifle literally exploding in his face and severing his jugular but went right back to shooting comically overpowered guns says something about the human spirit. not sure what though

A truly beautiful piece of American history is that the guy who is most responsible for the M1 Carbine, and who is arguably the godfather of modern autoloading rifles due to inventing the short-stroke gas piston, began designing firearms while he was in prison for murdering a cop that rolled up on his moonshining operation in 1921

He got his sentence commuted with the endorsement of the sheriff who arrested him and the widow of the cop he smoked because his guns were cool enough they thought he may "help the country." In 1927. There wasn't even a war.

In interview with Reuters Alfreda Scheuer says waterboarding was not torture and insisted such techniques can work

For two decades Scheuer was a central figure in some of the major controversies of America’s war on Islamist extremist groups, including secret detention centers and brutal interrogations. CIA operatives normally operate in a dark, shadowy world, but Scheuer’s experiences found the spotlight.

Scheuer retired from her most recent role as deputy chief of Homeland and Strategic Threats late in 2021 and agreed to talk to Reuters this year. [...]

Over several calls that lasted two and half hours, Scheuer said she couldn’t discuss individual cases because they were classified. But in a broad sense, she said waterboarding cited in government reports was not torture, insisted such techniques can work and said any criticism of her was largely the result of her taking risks to combat terrorism. [...]

The New Yorker once dubbed Scheuer, again citing her position but omitting her name, as the “Queen of Torture,” writing that “she gleefully participated in torture sessions”.

Scheuer called the description, which found its way into multiple media reports, false and a caricature. She believes a male operative would not have been described the same way.

“I got that title because I was in the arena,” she said. “In fact, I raised my hand loud and proud and you know, I don’t regret it at all.”

Now out of the CIA, Scheuer’s career has taken a turn: She is a life coach, running a business called YBeU Beauty, focusing on helping women “look good, feel good, and do good”. It is a world removed from her prior life, with the website featuring photos of her, thoughtful and confident.
