Burt Whitlow - US Army Counterintelligence

Burt Whitlow joins Pete A Turner on the Break It Down Show. Burt is one of Pete's friends from their time at D Co, 165th MI Bn. They worked at the same field office in Hanau Germany. One of the things that's makes these shows so interesting is the era where these two counterintelligence agents were in the Army.

The Cold War was over and getting further into the past. CI Agents were going more strategic. The US wasn't going to wars anymore. As the military sought to change CI the Dayton Peace Accords were authored. That means putting NATO troops on the ground in Bosnia-Herzegovina.

In an instant, Burt and Pete's careers changed direct. Instead of civilian clothes and overseas strategic assignments, it was battle uniforms and the unknown of a NATO combat deployment.

Two old spies sit down and talk about the work they did/do. We're looking around and it doesn't seem like anyone else is offering two actual field experience spies, talking shop; that's pretty cool
