A wee bit bloodthirsty today, aren’t we all?
How ‘bout some real details - this fossil retired in 1996, nearly 30 years ago. The list of aircraft he was familiar with looks like an inventory of Davis-Monthan’s boneyard. Anything he might have remembered from his service is probably published or available in common video games now.
Willing to bet there’s a lot more to the story that’s not being told.
You would mitigate his treasonous actions with the idea that what he knew was not significant. I reject the defense as it ignores the betrayal for gain he committed if found guilty.
You also assume the planes like the F-15 are somehow no longer relevant, yet it is still a significant component in our military. Just because it has age does not mean all its capabilities are known to the enemy, that is a false assumption.
Your argument only serves to embolden future traitors if it were to be given any credibility and has no bearing on his intent.
Bet all you want. He must have had knowledge they wanted. The CCP fer cryin out loud.
