It's not treason.

It's espionage.

More than likely, this is BS... In fact, it could be a planted story to "take out" a female LSO that one of the KOSsacks hates. It wouldn't surprise me at all.

Either way, the poster needs to be found, and he needs a serious talking to by the FBI and NCIS.

I’ll bet there are not that many LSO “Shes” over there.

Should be easy to find if the Navy wants to.

This is the reason that I think that this is probably a "planted" story. Even the KOSsacks know that there can't be that many female LSOs in the fleet, so I can't imagine any of them, as dimwitted as they are, purposely exposing one of their compatriots to possible treason charges, and given that she's operating out of a war zone, a possible death sentence.

I think that it's far more likely that one of the KOSsacks has a grudge against a female LSO, and wants to set her up.

I have to say it’s pure BS. Any Naval officer is fully aware they’d have free room and board in Leavenworth for the remainder of their life.

Given the assertion that this information came out of a war zone, it would be even more likely that the new accommodations would be 6' by 3' by 6' deep.

Thanks.

Aids Dementia with multiple drug abuse combined with severe BDS is the probable cause of the bs that comes from these losers in life.

I agree, that would more likely be the outcome.

Pure Fiction. In the military, plans are briefed on a need-to-know basis. Up to the time when the actual operation commences a LSO does not have the need-to-know about impending air-strikes. The only thing they will be given is launch and recovery times, everything else is scuttlebutt.

just heard 10 straight EAMs go out in a row from Andrews AFB.

Iranians are Persian and not Arabic nor do they speak Arabic. They speak Farsi.

If the "diarist"'s story of the LSO's career is true, you kinda hafta wonder what a subteenage girl was doing watching the sorts of programs sponsored by brokerage houses, and why she remembered the ads 20 years later.

Beat me to it. I'm 47 and just barely remember those commercials. I doubt there are many 47 year-old LSOs with 8 years of Marine experience (she would have to have joined up in her late 30s). Not impossible, just unbelievable.

“I have a friend who is an LSO on a carrier attack group...

Strange use of terms for someone who seems familiar with miitary terms. A LSO is assigned to a single ship, not a group.

that is planning and staging a strike group deployment into the Gulf of Hormuz.... That means that all the targets have been chosen, prioritized, and tasked to specific aircraft, bases, carriers, missile cruisers and so forth.

Standard proceedure for any potential threat. Nothing unusual here.

“But we’re all just waiting for this administration to end."

Pure, un-adulterated, BS.

Today, orders just come down from the mountaintop and there’s no questioning. In fact, there is no discussing it.

That's the way it works. President gives a order (he is C-in-C, after all), the Joint Chiefs decide how to make it work and issue the appropriate orders down the chain. They don't tend to ask the opinion of the ships captain other than to inquire if it can or cannot be done.

We’re not stupid.

Well, if you are who you say you are and you're not just a figment of Kos's imagination... You Are.

We are shipping in and assigning every damn Tomahawk we have in inventory.

She just change hats from LSO to Armaments Officer who knows how many Tomahawks we have in inventory. Incidently, Tomahawks are not generally deliverd by aircraft carriers or carrier-born aircraft. So again, how would she know?

“That’s what’s missing. A real sense of purpose. What’s missing is the answer to what the hell are we doing out here threatening this country with all this power? Last night in the galley, an ensign asked what right do we have to tell a sovereign nation that they can’t build a nuke. I mean the table got EF Hutton quiet. Not so much because the man was asking a question that was off culture. But that he was asking a good question. In fact, the discussion actually followed afterwards topside where someone in our group had to smoke a cigarette. The discussion was intelligent but also in lowered voices. It’s like we aren’t allowed to ask the questions that we always ask before combat. It’s almost as if the average seaman or soldier is doing all the policy work.”

And that folks is just plain ludicrous. That one snapped the mainspring on my BS meter.

I’m sure this is just more BS from Kos. There have been claims that the US is going to attack Iran, along with timetables, for over a year now, and each one has been BS. Of course Iran is going to be liberated, and US forces will be involved. Some left wing moron has just concocted another using easily verified (or disconfirmed) details.

Here’s mine.

The mullahcracy of Iran will be overthrown and the people of Iran will be doing the beheading of those Shiite-heads. The armed forces of Iran will be destroyed in hours or days by US forces, and the Arab / PLO thugs will make a run for the borders when their paymaster’s checks start bouncing. This will take place as early as 2008, or as late as 2010 (IOW, in the next administration).

I’d be very, very skeptical of anything from Kos. If it can’t be verified by independent sources, I would assume that it’s the Kosites propaganda machine. IF, and that’s a big IF, there was some truth to the source of this classified information, I hope the Navy finds her, and she spends the rest of her life in prison. On the other hand, this could be false information put out by our own government. Would that not be ironic? The Kosites would be actually helping our military.

Before Bush was elected, seamen and privates could give orders to admirals and generals, and they would be obeyed without question.

I think so too, it is inconceivable to this long time inactive Marine that any naval officer on a combat ship would open their mouths about a pending attack. Unless of course it’s just misinformation, just to keep the Iranians from getting a good night sleep. LOL. No way it is a “real” leak.
