It’s funny nothing this drastic ever occurred when we weren’t so “sensitive” and politically correct and enforced our laws.
There’s a history of massive leaks in our govt.
Walker gave the key codes and information on our encryption systems to the Russians. They had the flight plans for the B52s during Vietnam which helped them have SAMs in place.
Hansen likewise gave massive amounts of information to the Russians.
Both of these guys cost BILLIONS in damage and quite a few deaths were directly attributed to them.
This isn’t different in scale but is far more public of a failure. How one low level private managed to get all this information is mind boggling.
