ORIGINAL: OrionTheWolf ~FR~ Death would be caused from neurogenic shock which would be from the extreme and rapid vascular dilation of a crushed testicle. Not sure if the article covers it. JLF mentioned torture, and testicle crushing is a form of torture that has been used for a very long time, and does sometimes result in death. I think the Germans during WWII developed some testicle crushers, and likely others have as well. If someone is teaching dirty in fighting, then the grab and twist of the testicles has likely been taught to them. Some of the female self defense against rape courses from the 80's and 90's taught the grab and twist technique. It is not torture, it is called "Enhanced Interrogation techniques." Torture is forbidden under the Geneva convention. Oh bless you. The term "Enhanced Interrogation techniques." was an invention of the George W Bush administration which was a rather ass-hatted attempt to circumvent the Geneva Convention. A number of the techniques included in this category are torture, and have been regarded as such by the international community for many years, and indeed have been acknowledged as such by subsequent administrations. That was just the latest term used to avoid the word torture. And I was being sarcastic. Being in a unit that was often assigned to perform ops that were not always black and white, I found myself witness to a number of things that were considered expedient to achieving a mission's goals. I can also say that many things that are considered expedient either bend the geneva conventions or ignore them completely. Not that I disagree with the goal of the Geneva Accords, but I find it slightly humorous to "civilize" warfare.
