记得本坛一直以来，就有不少朋友们鼓吹大美帝国军人如何对待被俘之论，比如放下武器投降敌人不为军人之耻，等。我也一直觉得那是无耻公知们根据某些新闻报道宣传，以其无耻且丑陋之目的，进而无耻地臆想、引申、并无知地扩展而为；一如其它形形色色的无耻无知谬论，不值一驳。
但如今眼见某些朋友为其无耻之论所惑之深不能自拔并信誓旦旦地言及大美帝国军人条例对此有案可稽，并以其为证投降，并非军人之耻等等之违反常理之悖论，本人感觉就此谬误，有必要验证一下大美帝国军人条例究竟对此如何，是否有此训条。
以作为军人的自然常规、职责，以及验证结果，证明大美帝国军人投降被俘亦非军人之耻并条例有案可稽之说，纯属谬误。
查到的这个军人条例，公布于大美帝国杰格逊大学的网站，网址是：Code of Conduct - Department of Military Science | Jackson State University
这个大美帝国军人条例，其中讲到一旦被俘如何坚守为大美帝国而战的信念、原则、和荣耀等等。
以下的英文，是开头的部分，后头跟着大美帝国军人条例全文 Code of Conduct。可以用股沟翻译自己去看一看吧，但这里是其中的几句话，我前后文归纳性地翻译一下：
“作为大美帝国武装力量的一员，我的义务是忠诚于大美帝国、捍卫大美帝国、维护所在军事部门机密。。。并于行动中必须避免被俘、被俘之后抵制一切美帝的敌人、并寻求脱逃 。。。
尽管在条例并未作为最高行为准则来要求执行的情况之下，作为军人，我必须维护为大美帝国而战的信念和荣誉并持同等义务不出卖被俘同胞军人。。。
此大美帝国军人条例，来源于它的英雄们的经历以及作为光荣的大美帝国一员的行为准则。。。。此条例作为准则，必须完全理解它所表述的涵义和原则。。。作为军人一旦被俘以及能够荣耀地生存的历史经验证明，勇气、奉献、和崇高动机，必不可缺。。。为信守这些爱国价值观，作为战俘期间，要求坚强地固守自由和民主信念、热爱大美帝国、绝不动摇我们事业公正性的信念、信任并忠诚于同胞被俘军人、以及坚守自己信仰和道德准则。。。
作为军人，我的勇气、奉献、以及崇高动机将会有助于克服任何被俘之后的非人待遇并以大无畏气概压倒敌人的气焰，最终带着荣耀和自豪，回到我的家人和祖国怀抱。“
As a member of the Armed Forces of the United States you are protecting your nation. It is your duty to oppose all enemies of the US in combat or, if a captive, in a prisoner of war compound. Your behavior is guided by the Code of Conduct, which has evolved form the heroic lives, experiences and deeds of Americans from the Revolutionary War to the Southeast Asian Conflict.
Your obligations as a US citizen and a member of the Armed Forces result from the traditional values that underlie the American experience as a nation. These values are best expressed in the US Constitution and Bill of Rights, which you have sworn to uphold and defend. You would have these obligations—to your country, your Service and unit, and your fellow Americans—even if the Code of Conduct had never been formulated as a high standard of general behavior.
Just as you have a responsibility to your country under the Code of Conduct, the US Government has a dual responsibility—always to keep faith with you and stand by you as you fight for your country. If you are unfortunate enough to become a prisoner of war, you may rest assured that your Government will care for your dependents and will never forget you. Furthermore, the Government will use every practical means to contact, support and gain release for you and for all other prisoners of war.
To live up to the Code, you must know not only its words but the ideas and principles behind those words.
These pages contain the Code, an explanation of its principles and a statement of the standards expected of you.
The Code of Conduct is an ethical guide. Its six articles deal with your chief concerns as an American in combat; these concerns become critical when you must evade capture, resist while a prisoner, or escape from the enemy.
Experiences of captured Americans reveal that to survive captivity honorably would demand from you great courage, deep dedication and high motivation. To sustain these personal values throughout captivity requires that you understand and believe strongly in our free and democratic institutions, love your country, trust in the justice of our cause, keep faithful and loyal to your fellow prisoners, and hold firmly to your religious and moral beliefs in time of trial.
Your courage, dedication, and motivation supported by understanding, trust, and fidelity will help you endure the terrors of captivity, prevail over your captors and return to your family, home, and nation with honor and pride.
NOTE: The Code of Conduct for members of the Armed Forces of the US was first promulgated by President Eisenhower August 17, 1955. The Code, including its basic philosophy, was reaffirmed on July 8, 1964 , in DOD Directive No. 1300.7. On November 3, 1977 , President Carter amended Article V of the Code. On March 28, 1988 , President Reagan amended Articles I, II and VI of the Code. The Code, although first expressed in its written form in 1955, is based on time-honored concepts and traditions that date back to the days of the American Revolution.
