I knew a former CIA man. It’s probably not common knowledge now, but back then if you were a foreign-born man with U.S. citizenship and got drafted, you went into the CIA. So far from being clean-cut “best and the brightest” Central Casting boys, what you had were sons of refugees and immigrants who sometimes didn’t bother to know English and had little to no respect for authority. It wouldn’t surprise me if some of them thought this would be a way to get out of serving in some war zone.
