While initially working for a PR firm for a Georgia department store, he closed up shop and got back into firearms with an aim for suppressors. His former squaddies became high ranking members of the CIA, who's antics include such fun as planning the death of Ngo Dinh Diem, setting up the transport companies for Iran-Contra and Watergate, Mitchell took a different path.
Working with covert ops and infamously being paid for his work with 5 pound bags of opium, Mitchell's ways went a different path. In 1942 he joined with the fledgling OSS, operating mostly in China, French Indochina and Burma. Born in Philadelphia as a son to a exiled Tsarist Russia cavalry officer, it was hard to disconnect Mitchell from the concept of the military.
