Description

The Korean War became a prolonged struggle over POWs, as Name, Rank, and Serial Number details. The United Nations Command compelled prisoners to defect and the communists used captive GIs in propaganda denouncing capitalism. At home, ex-POWs were used in propaganda again when the Army chastised the nation for raising effeminate sons unable to withstand captivity.
