I worked down the hall from a USAF colonel who had spent six years in a North Vietnamese prison after being shot down during a bombing run. He told me that the American prisoners in Vietnam were a much more successful bunch than were the prisoners in our other wars because almost all of the Vietnam prisoners were officers: They were better disciplined, had more group cohesion, and were less self-absorbed than enlisted people would have been. He offered no evidence to support his claim. I heard that officer-class bullshit many years ago when I was a young NCO stationed in Biloxi, Miss.
