leadership and heroism during that difficult period in our nation's history is undeniable.
I've read his book When Hell Was In Session, and in it, he gave (to my mind) the best interpretation of the "Code of Conduct" as a POW.
He even pointed out a major fallacy of this Code when taken "stand-alone": what should a prisoner do when he/she has reached the limit of endurance under torture? Then what?
He devised the tactic called "Bounce Back", meaning: after they've broken you, don't stay broken. Collect yourself and bounce back to a hard line as soon as possible.
That tactic is now taught at all US military SERE ("survival"
schools.
Rest Your Oars, Admiral. Well Done.
