But what about the man behind the barbed wire that has to face daily, the bayonet, torture, and starvation? I speak not of the oriental soldier who can survive on a handful of rice a day, plus the fact as our prisoner he never had it so good. I speak of the American man who are used to three square meals a day. Who suddenly finds himself incarcerated by the enemy; having no idea how long he will have to rot in some vermin-infested camp. Drastically cut in ration, medical care, freedom and no sex. Wondering if he will live to see the sun come up the following day. I have often wondered about the man who set up these standards what would they do in the same situation. Did it ever occur to you how you would act? I credit my survival by mimicking the enemy in the only practice they knew. Ruthlessness. I had excellent teachers.\"In reference to the Code of Conduct - Albert Caron.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Johnny Caron, Albert Caron\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8650005187\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798650005186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/31\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 146\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.34d","brand":"Johnny Caron","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44190882595071,"sku":"9798650005186","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7a802455-df76-4fce-b110-56289580c081.jpg?v=1690872883","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/an-island-dies-johnny-caron-9798650005186","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
