Of course, Matt Helm was a soldier before being recruited
into Mac's secret
arm of the OSS.
I don't recall specific mentions about Edward R. Aarons' Sam
Durrell -- was
he a soldier before becoming a spy?
The same goes for Adam Hall's Quiller.
I think I recall a military service mention regarding Wade
Miller's PI --
Max Thursday, I think his name is.
Sgt. Rock would have made a great post-war PI. However, his
creator, Robert
Kanigher, always claimed Rock was killed in the war. --
