Your wonderful tales remind me of that popular book a number of years back "The Spy Who Wore Red" , written by a young American woman recruited to be a spy for the early OSS during WWII. Tales stranger than fiction was the riveting/rollicking story line that took her from recruitment, to training and plenty of harrowing encounters as an official spy, with romantic intrigues as well.
There seemed to be a Santa Barbara connection with the author "Aline Griffith" but I can't remember exactly what that was. Do you have any memories of a local connection with her too, if you were in town at that time? GROK drew a blank. Thanks.
Soldiers have a DUTY to refuse to obey unlawful orders. "Just following orders" is not a defense (Nuremberg Trials). "All I did was shove them into a conveyance." "All I did was put a 10-year-old terrorist alien into a cage." "All I did was turn on a gas valve." If your moral compass is telling you that Trump's order is illegal, see UCMJ Article 90 and CALL the G.I. Rights Hotline (877) 497-4487. You are NOT alone!
Spies, I have learned, come in all types, sizes, genders, races, cultures and loyalties. 'Tis always best to not be known as being amongst them. Cheers.

Hello DL right again but the very top espionage players are like
a stable of the best Football QBs waiting for the highest bidder.
They are recruited for the Big Game and paid accordingly.
Can we say USAID Funds.
" Genius in strategy is when all five types of spies are in use
and remain unknown to all but you..."

Outside of the standard deviation?
I read this interesting SPY article titled "Spies I Have Known and Loved"
by Calla Jones Corner. I quote from same "I suppose, that good spies must
marry exceptional women who can keep secrets."
I am surprised that a women such as Calla Jones would not think that some
good women spies marry solid men for support. Is this a reverse discrimination
issue playing out or is it just that typically men are the spies of the world.
You may want to look at the women alittle closer as they are the unknown spies
who are never written about as an example Nancy Wake >>
