Why not? One of the Allies most significant officers did not join the military until after he was dead!An Englishman had died a natural death (as nearly as I know, he had never been in the military, age or 4F?) His family was approached and agreed to a rather unusual plan.He was to be dressed in an officer’s uniform, carry fake invasion plans, and be dumped in the ocean where he was expected to wash ashore in enemy territory.The plan saved countless lives on the actual invasion.
