...well I dunno..she might have actually been under the gun when she said those things...at the Air Force Academy they tought us in POW training to say such if it meant the difference between life and death...I'm inclined to give her the benefit of the doubt for the moment

What bothers me is, what she said in the interviews is not that different from what she said in her articles and columns. No one was holding a gun to her head then, were they?

Indeed...many of our brave men and women are trained to say what it takes to stay alive and get free. Why do some FReepers hold her to a higher standard than the brave men and women in our military? I don't get it.

??? When did the US armed forces start taking *that* approach? That's completely the *opposite* of what I was taught in SERE in 1973, and afterwards by the Army.

Has the armed forces stopped using The US Fighting Man's Code?
