Lew Powell's Frostbitten Feet

[MaddieM]

Exactly, Bill....

The consequences of putting a hood over someone's head is mind boggling. Battle hardened soldier that he was, the affect on young Powell was devastating inasmuch as he was so terrified that he wept when first hooded.

What a pointless act of torture. I'm sure they weren't padded to the extent that, had one really wished to bash one's brains out, they could have prevented much damage. Seems more like a tool to demoralise and subdue.
