1973-the year we got our POWs back. The POWs were part of the deal. If they weren't going to return our men, we weren't going to pull out.
The obligations under the Geneva Convention require POWs to refrain from acts of violence and to obey the laws and regulations of their captors. However, it is NOT true that POWs are required to provide information beyond their name, rank, and serial number; they have the right to remain silent regarding other questions. Additionally, while POWs must respect the rules of conduct, they are not obligated to cooperate in ways that could harm their own interests or those of their comrades.
