It takes great bravery to fly bombing runs into enemy territory and to be shot down.  However, this “Tokyo Rose” propaganda recording calls into question some of the things we are led to believe about what happened in Vietnam after McCain was captured as a POW. 

Its understandable that a soldier under the threat of torture or following repeated episodes of torture might give into the request to make such a recording.  However, McCain wasn’t just an average soldier, but was held up by the US media to have been an extraordinary military hero. 

CODE OF CONDUCT:

Article III:

If I am captured I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape and aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy.

Article IV:

If I become a prisoner of war, I will keep faith with my fellow prisoners. I will give no information or take part in any action which might be harmful to my comrades. If I am senior, I will take command. If not, I will obey the lawful orders of those appointed over me and will back them up in every way.

Article V:

When questioned, should I become a prisoner of war, I am required to give name, rank, service number and date of birth. I will evade answering further questions to the utmost of my ability. I will make no oral or written statements disloyal to my country and its allies or harmful to their cause.

Articles like this claim their is no evidence that McCain violated the US Military Code of Conduct as a POW, but this recording proves otherwise.
