      I thought the same thing, my first thought is it might have been a test run to see if it was successful before committing more resources. But even just blowing up a few places would force the US to use resources defending factories and other locations while causing fear in Americans maybe decreasing the publics support of the war. So maybe that was what they were really hoping would be the outcome.

      I like the idea but saboteurs aren't spies, so they don't make very good double-agents. You can't send them back to counter-sabotage, you can't feign sabotage to convince the axis their saboteurs are succeeding, and you can't use them to send back disinfo because they're not spies. Could've kept the two guys and used them to train counter-saboteur intelligence tho

    Jesus imagine faking an STD just to not go on a mission you volunteered for and honestly they would've had a better chance if they'd all gotten jobs working in factories. They would've been closer to the US war effort and could've actually done some damage. Thank goodness some of them never wanted to go through with it.
