Devotions: The Prisoner of War

Wainwright’s side had won but he was ignorant of the truth.
He should have been free but he didn’t know it.
He behaved like a POW. He did not know his side had won so he continued to submit to the demand of his captor even though his captor no longer had power over him.

Eventually an American officer walked up to the prisoner of war fence and said, “General, Japan has surrendered.”
Now he responded to the truth.

Wainwright limped to the commandant’s office announcing “My commander has defeated your commander.
I am in control now.
You must surrender.”
