New Military Code Guides POW Conduct Under Torture Pressure
Washington reports a new military code instructs captured soldiers to resist enemy pressure to the utmost while avoiding disclosure of vital information or disloyalty. Drawing on Korean War experience, it stresses indoctrination and steadfastness to endure torture. President Eisenhower proclaimed the code and ordered training for all personnel to resist captivity and remain faithful to comrades. The code relaxes the rule of giving only name, rank, and serial number, while urging refusal to answer beyond the limit of one’s ability.
