The Code of Conduct


I am an American fighting in the forces that guard my country and our way of life, I am prepared to give my life in their defense.

I will never surrender of my own free will. If in command, I will never surrender the members of my command while they still have the means to resist.

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.

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.

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.


I will never forget that I am an American fighting for freedom, responsible for my actions, and dedicated to the principles which made my country free. I will trust in my God and in the United States of America.

To all the Soldier's, Airman, Sailor's and Marines.....

I Salute you!!! Brother's in arms. Do what you were trained, You ARE the best Fighting force in the WORLD!!!


I am behind you, America is behind you!!!

God Speed!

I don't see that people are negative, that that they're complaining, or that they haven't added anything. You read that in because you disagree. It's ok to disagree.

The debate is also not about giving support to those who are on the front lines, we're all thankful for that.

The questions becomes "should we be at war to begin with, especially at this time?" Should we be asking those on the front lines to give their lives at this time? Just because GW says something is NOT a good argument. People need to think about the issues, look at how the world is responding and not just get the spin from Ari Fleischer...

The question is also not about whether we can take out Saddam. That can be done, but then what will we do? We said we'd help out in Chechnya, but we haven't. We said we'd help out in Afghanistan, but we haven't done much there either. The truth is that the US goes in and blows countries up but doesn't rebuild them like it says it will.

Once again I ask the question, does the US government have a history of telling the truth the its citizens or should we be skeptical? The US is the best nation in the world but I think we can do better.

Uniting the Islamic world will have repercussions that we can't begin to imagine. Look what has happened in Israel, the fighting has been going on for 50 years. We're about to have the same chaos here.
