we hate to burst your bubble but this
particular line of work isn’t about sex
fancy cars and three-piece suits for us
to have some unfinished business to
attend to
welcome to watchmojo.com Stallman we’re
counting down the top 5 myths about
spies before we begin we publish new
videos every day so be sure to subscribe
for more great content come along as we
dismantle some of the biggest myths
about spies perpetuated by Hollywood
over the years
number 5 spies kill each other all the
time
second there’s nothing quite like a
little spy on spy action two highly
trained professionals locked in a battle
to see who can off the other one first
suddenly that’s a movie trope not
reality
modern intelligent agencies actually
avoid killing the competition whenever
possible what did you tell them
everything if captured a spy may be
interrogated for information but it’s in
their enemy’s best interest to keep them
alive your violin give you only
absolutely invalid rule of international
relationship and why so you could kill a
nobody we wanted to question it not a
penis the logic is simple kill one of
ours and we’ll respond accordingly a
spies death would set up a legal domino
effect not to mention a bureaucratic and
political health storm
however when dealing with members of a
criminal organization or terrorists well
things admittedly get a little murky
number four there’s no paperwork think
about your favorite spy movie at any
point do you see bond born or hunt
sitting behind a desk furiously typing
up a report how about signing a widt
contract or filling out a medical
insurance form fat chance
the insurance company is never gonna
believe according to Fred Russman
who was a member of the CIA for over two
decades roughly 90% of international
espionage is paperwork real spies get
their kicks from typing up reports that
will put five guys behind bars we hate
to be the bearers of bad news but the
life of a spy involves a lot more
documenting than leaping from buildings
as things explode in the background
number three a badass solution Trump’s
protocol they wouldn’t be James Bond if
he didn’t trigger the odd explosion at
an embassy or sir the occasional tsunami
unfortunately outside of film the world
of espionage is inundated with the arach
recei and regulations while fighting a
bad guy atop a moving train or
dismantling a terrorist cell with our
authorization sounds awesome it would
probably get the spy in question fired
sorry
I’ll shoot the camera first next time or
yourself think about it like this
governments spend millions of dollars
developing human assets for field work
should one decide to ignore protocol in
favor of paragliding off a skyscraper
their benefactors stand to lose more
than just a rebellious agent that’s a
major investment that just went out the
window I drove a car off a freeway on
top of a train while I was on fire not
the car I was on fire number two they
drive fancy cars imagine for a moment
that you’re a spy operating in an
impoverished country your goal is to
blend in be one with your surroundings
and most importantly avoid raising
suspicion now do you really think that
cruising around in a drop-top Benz a
smoking-hot Ferrari or an elegant Aston
Martin is the best way to accomplish the
affirmation goals
nope run loose
a spy’s car will be appropriate to the
situation if they’re going undercover as
a high-society function they may very
well wind up driving a luxury vehicle or
sports car but more often than not
they’re probably cruising in a B sedan
with good gas mileage number one they
have a license to kill just the thing
for unwinding after a rough there the
army guy remind uw7 that you have a
license to kill not to break the traffic
laws let’s put this colossal myth to
rest once and for all by saying spies
don’t have a license to kill contrary to
what the James Bond franchise would have
you believe a spy can’t just saunter up
to whomever they like and end the person
the role of a spy is first and foremost
to collect information and maybe this
goes without saying but trying to gather
intelligence from someone after you’ve
killed them seems counterintuitive in
fact many agents will go their entire
careers without even firing their
weapons that is a far cry from
double-oh-seven who is mowed down
hundreds of people during his tenure at
mi6
but hey you gotta sell those movie
tickets the names bond James Bond so
which of these myths did you believe
