From a Netflix user review of Rescue Dawn:
I met Dieter Dengler in 1974 just after going through Navy SERE (Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape) School in Warner Springs, CA. The "legend" about his time at SERE School before he went to Vietnam made his escape unsurprising to the instructors - he made it out from being under the tender care of Navy SEAL "guards" no less six times in four days. Instructors who heard of his capture expected to hear of his escape as a matter of course. And, yes, I spent my turn being "waterboarded" and I fully support the use of that means of interrogation - didn't hurt me unless you count a really runny nose.
On the other hand, The Long Ride Home definitely violates the Geneva Conventions.
By the way, anyone have any opinions about whether to watch Little Dieter Needs to Fly before this?
