The man responsible for what the military called the Navy’s biggest betrayal is dead.
John Anthony Walker, the former Senior Warrant Officer from Norfolk who supplied the Soviets with damaging tactical and military data, died in federal prison on Thursday in Butner, North Carolina.
29 years ago, Walker’s career as a spy came to an end in Norfolk Federal Court.

Ditto! Good riddance.
Good riddance. Welcome to Hell johnny boy!
The number of people who died as a result of this absolute selfish traitorous ass is incredible. He compromised our nuclear submarine missle deterrent... for money.
A pervert swinger, tough guy wannabee. He should have been shot.
The brother died in Butner a month ago, I think. In an old guy medical unit.
He got a lot of people killed too.
And the sun shines a little more brightly, and the birds chirp a little more sweetly, and the bunnies frolic in the meadow a little more playfully ...
Dying in prison was better than he deserved, but God have mercy on his soul.
At first I thought this was the American Taliban, Johnny Walker Lindh; however, the death of this one will do too.
I joined the AF in ‘86 and was in the same career field as him. He cost America billions of dollars.
He was giving the Russians the flight plans for the B52s during Vietnam. Among many many other things.
That's what I was thinking.
In fact I don't even remember this guy.
Note to families named Walker: Avoid being cute with the boozy monikers!
Traitor. Hang his corpse on the public square.
I curse my parents for naming me Old Granddad. I’m guessing my sister Wild Turkey isn’t too thrilled either.
Hard for me to forget. I transferred off the Nimitz just before his son checked on board. Right after he was arrested I saw, from the parking lot of my apartment in Ocean View, a small tug, a USCG boat and three Norfolk Police boats cutting the lines and towing away a houseboat moored in the next block. News reported it was his.
And on Old Ocean View Road one can still see the hammer and sickle with “NO” sign spray painted on the brick of what was his house.
What a puke he was.
At least they didn’t call him Jose Cuervo.
Well, Bye!
Those were the days when people actually cared about what was going on, afraid of communism and socialism taking over our country. Now we have an elected socialist at the helm elected twice. My have the old days changed.
