Mary Walker had an "interesting" relationship with the US government.

She volunteered to be a spy for the United States during the Civil way. Her request was refused. Aka NOT a Spy

She was a certified physician, but when she volunteered to be a doctor, the government would only accept her as a nurse.

She was captured by the Confederates under suspicion of being a spy and imprisoned for four months.

Through correspondence between the two governments, it was realized that she was not a spy and was released as part of a prisoner exchange. Aka NOT a spy

After the way, she applied for a medical pension for injuries she suffered as part of her imprisonment. Her request was denied because now the US government thought she had deliberately gotten her self captured to act as a spy for the US government. Aka IS a spy.
