Johnny Mike Spann was a former Marine Corps Captain serving as a CIA officer in Afghanistan. He was not a soldier.
Yes, now I remember he was with the CIA.
Sorry for the mistake, but I still consider him a soldier in the WOT.
I remember watching the news when he was killed, seeing his beautiful little family on TV.
I have a friend with a husband in the CIA, my husband is former NSA (he was also retired USAF).
I had the honor of speaking with a U.S. Army special ops soldier in Afghanistan on the phone today. They are all America’s finest.
