Not what I heard. There have been Congressional investigations in the past into various SERE schools in existence at different times in our military's past. I heard the Marines had an especially realistic and violent SERE school back in the early to mid sixties. They would borderline kill trainees going thru it. Most of the SERE cadre were Marines who fought in the Korean war against communist Chinese, who were and probably still are, especially good at this sort of stuff.
They'd just about drown you, basically.
Modern era, down at Bragg and overseas training places. The SERE training the JSOC guys go thru is very realistic. Waterboarding does go on down there. And a few other places. In training. They do break trainees.
