A soldier based in Hawaii pleaded guilty Wednesday to trying to help Islamic State, telling a judge he provided secret military information, a drone meant to track U.S. troops and other support to undercover agents he believed were members of the terrorist organization.

Sgt. 1st Class Ikaika Kang, handcuffed and wearing a prison jumpsuit, spoke in a clear voice when he told a U.S. magistrate judge that he was guilty of all four counts against him.

Hang ‘em high.

If he doesn’t deserve to be executed nobody does.

Lots of E-6s got the boot because of "budget cuts" for piddling crap that happened ten years earlier, but this stain made SFC. Army HR isn't much better than the FBI and DOJ at "looking out" for us.

Sounds like something a Klingon does in the bathroom.

I read the entire article, which failed to cite the specific criminal charges lodged against Kang, or even those to which he plead guilty. All that was stated is that Kang was NOT charged with Espionage. This is so over-the-top sloppy as to suggest that such basic details were edited from the story.

I got 30 days CC (USAF Correctional Custody) for having a woman stay overnight in the dorm room with me, although 2 (ass kissing) Sgts were sleeping together in the same dorm room right down the hall, which was well known...

:p

“This is horrible. But good that he confessed.”

That was nice of him.

Now shove him up against a wall and shoot him to death.

First I’ve seen of this story.

McCain’s passing sucked all the oxygen out of the news universe these past several days.
