There are two ways to get vet spies. One way is a succesfull action the spy does. If he gets away, he CAN get vet status (the spy FAQ in the GL lists all cases when a spy gains vet status after being succesful). The other is to be commie when building the unit. The spy is automatically a vet then. Barracs don`t affect the vet/non-vet status of a spy / dip.
Under which circumstances did your spies acquire vet status? If you play under commie, is it "soft" commie, established under effect of SoL or is it regular commie from the tech advance? Maybe this difference affects the status of the vets, if you build some and then change governments.

How do you win in communism? I always use Dem and go for AC, can you do that in commie?

Commie is easy to win under.. .I usually play my ICS games through commie (once I get SoL). It's also good to use when you want a fairly large war, but you need to keep the science coming. You can get up to three units unsupported (which I use for happiness, martial law is double the content citizens!) - and of course, the vet spies. If you run luxuries at the same level that you would in democracy, you might be able to get some WLT_D, which gives you the same trade as a democracy, if I remember correctly.

Yes, it's possible. In my current game (King) I'm Commie, it's 1950 and I'm making about 400 gold/turn. discoveries in six turns. I have about 50 cities. I always build lots of libraries/universities under commie. Adam Smith's helps too. Commie allows a huge military (97 Alpine, 85 spies, 90 armor, 55 mech inf) with very little discontent. No pesky Senate, and no corruption. Veteran spies are the best. In my war w/ the English, I've used veteran spies to destroy city walls in 15 of his cities.....needless to say, they're mine now.

The greatness of commie starts long before you switch to commie as your government.
Look at the tech path:
Steam engine (=gives you the possibility to build super ironclads and conquer all AI cities close to the ocean and become the ruler of all seas = peaceful trade and victory).
Then Railroad (=possibility of travelling like lightning between all your cities; take care of HG though!).
Then Industrialization (=modern transportation at once and factories later on, IMO preferably after having built HD).
The trick is to research Physics ASAP (trade or steal the other techs needed meanwhile).
Try it once (and let me know).
