1. Carlson and Wesley.
2. Stecker and Pickering.
3. McCoy and Rickabee.
Essay Topic 3
Most people and regular soldiers detest spies and the idea of spying. Spies are not considered in the same vein as soldiers in uniform and are not protected by the customs and regulations that govern the treatment of soldiers who are in uniform when captured. Rickabee asks McCoy to spy on Carlson, which might be considered even more distasteful due to them being in the same military. Discuss one of the following:
1. Why do you think spies are not accorded any rights under many countries' laws and/or customs?
2. Even though all countries abhor spies, often even their own, they still spy, and men and women are still willing to be spies. Discuss why you think this is so.
3. Research and analyze the history of spying in either America.
4. Does McCoy seem the image of a typical spy as you visualize one? Why or why not.
