Sheehy interviewed practically everyone in Bush's life---teachers, relatives, school buddies, former girlfriends, you name it. And as you read it, at least one thing becomes clear about him: He was an asshole LONG before he became a drug addict and a drunk.

I'm not sure how they prepare for this kind of torture during training, but dammit we don't want them to be trained to resist it!
