The Code, Does It Have Limits?

Abstract

The validity, or limits of the Code of Conduct as it applies to the US fighting man have come under question many times. This study endeavors to seek answers to some of these questions. The study progresses through the concepts of the Code as they evolve through the history of warfare up to the present. The Code is then closely examined article by article to provide an understanding of its meanings and requirements. The study concludes that the Code has no limits and is infinitely valid.
