jd140, you had a comment talking about the new generation with no heart.
I will agree there is alot more softeys raised now adays but from my own experience, the ones with heart, honor and loyalty still out number the ones that do not.
Jonnyflip, people could go back and forth all day about what someone would or would not do as a POW. Many brave men that have become POWs maintained loyalty to the military code of conduct.
I KNOW I would and this is why.
1. I would completely understand that If I said anything or conducted myself in a way to undermined the mission or my country that I would be giving the enemy justification, reenforcement and motivation to continue to fight and potentially lead to more deaths of my brothers in combat.
2. When I enlisted and took the Oath of Enlistment, I understood exactly what it ment. I knew that when called to, I had to put the mission, the Army and the country BEFORE myself which encluded my wife and family and that is something that I am very proud and willing to do. I know my family would ultimately share that pride.
Finally, I have a very soft spot in my heart for ALL of the Soldiers, Marines, Sailors and Airmen that have sacrificed their lives in combat reguardless if I knew them personally or not. I would be completely aware that If I said something in a situation like that to make the enemy think they were doing the right thing or were justified to continue what they were doing, that I would be spitting on the graves of them all. I would rather die with honor to my country and cause.
