[Servant of the Nine]

You're forgetting WW I and Mata Hari !

Not to mention WW II and Julia Child.
Before becoming a cook, she was an OSS covert agent in occupied Europe. That takes stones almost too big to lift.

In the military, at least you are armed and have a presumption of prisoner of war status.

Yes, Julia WAS part of the OSS; that's how she met her husband.

What makes you think that spies weren't / aren't armed ? They were and probably still are.
