And they’re Chinese. I guess loyalty to the motherland trumps loyalty to your adopted country.

quote:

Two US Navy sailors have been arrested for passing classified or sensitive material to China, including military details on wartime exercises and strategic operations. Jinchao Wei, a 22-year-old sailor, was arrested on espionage-related charges, specifically conspiracy to provide national defense information to Chinese officials. He is attached to the San Diego-based USS Essex, an amphibious assault ship which is known to operate in the Pacific region, and even waters off Southeast Asia. In a separate but similar case, 26-year old Wenhen Zhao was also charged over allegations he handed off sensitive US military videos and photos to Chinese intelligence. The DOJ specified the timeframe for the alleged espionage happened between August 2021 through this May (and possibly beyond). The two sailors, especially Zhao, allegedly provided material exposing classified information related to large-scale US Navy exercise in the Indo-Pacific region.

If guilty, they should go to the edge of China's maritime boundary (or whatever it's called), tie something heavy to their legs, and push them over.

This is what happens when time honored security practices are ignored and obvious risks disregarded because, you know…racism. It’d be racist to deny security clearances to these self professed patriots solely due to their ties and allegiance to the CCP!

A couple of years ago we sent convicted Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard back to Israel where Netanyahu greeted him with a heroes welcome.

Our Greatest Ally indeed.

Just the other day I said to end the non-citizen servicemember program. Looks to be a security risk.

Shocking.

I always assume any chinaman in this country is here for espionage purposes.

I guess our military couldn't see that this was coming. At least they caught the bastards. I hope they didn't turn over many secrets. I guess a good rule of thumb is to scrutinize that demographic.

The Obama-appointed admirals will give them medals for this.

I think they are just ethnically Chinese - but citizens of our beautiful melting pot.

This is what happens when a nation transitions into a global strip mall
