A lovestruck US Air Force employee has pleaded guilty to conspiring to transmit confidential national defense information after sharing military secrets information about the Russia-Ukraine war with a woman he met on a dating app.
David Franklin Slater, a 64-year-old Nebraska resident and retired US Army lieutenant colonel, worked as a civilian employee of the US Air Force assigned to Strategic Command at Offutt Air Force Base and held a Top Secret security clearance from August 2021 to April 2022.
In this role, he attended briefings about Russia's war against Ukraine that were classified up to Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) — and signed a non-disclosure agreement stating that he understood that "negligent handling of SCI by me could cause irreparable injury to the United States or to be used to advantage by a foreign nation," according to court documents.
That didn’t stop Slater from sharing classified information with a woman who identified as a foreigner on an online dating platform.

It’s evil how the major media propagandists won’t report this story.
Not sure when that would’ve been, I’ve had TS/SCI for 20 years and the SF 86 goes deep every time.
SCI doesn’t get you read into to anything where there isn’t a need to know. It also doesn’t get you access to SAP programs If there is no NTK.
So many traitors, so few firing squads
He is younger than I am. Getting my security clearance was a pain in the rear. Already having the clearance is a major Plus.
no fool like an old fool.
So... were they “real” secrets or deliberately misleading secrets?
House of mirrors...
This is one of the big failures of the Men's Rights (lack of) Movement. They made it about how "the family court system", "judges", ad nauseum are biased against men, but with one exception I'm aware of never addressed who was making these decisions, or why. That exception is here.
Time for Some Male Bashing of Our Own
This is all besides the billions that human traffickers make every year in this country alone, from men who are perfectly OK with raping kidnapped and drugged women if that's what it takes to get some.
We accuse the LGBT+ groups of grooming our kids, but we have so thoroughly groomed our boys on this obscene, not to say un-Biblical, concept of manhood throughout the last few generations that we can't even see it as the problem even as the proof is constantly in front of us.
That's it in a nutshell.
Too Soon Old, Too Late Smart.
Wow. What an idiot. How does he live with himself?
The Playboy Philosophy led to the popularization of Feminism.
When I read the headline, I assumed it was a 20-something dude. Shocked that it was a guy that old who should clearly have known better. The only think I can think of is that his desperation for love overwhelmed all his filters.
He must have went overboard ordering that 87 cent Viagra they advertise on TV.
When I was working at Raytheon, at the “Missile Defense Center” in Woburn, Massachusetts, there was a guy working there who was contacted by an “Israeli” company that was making missile defense “Video Games” and they asked him to critique the games for “authenticity”. He was being paid as a consultant.
He lost his clearance and was fired. Conveying any such information, even unclassified technical information is an export under ITAR regulations. I learned about this incident in an unclassified security briefing, but I never did find out who the “Israeli” company really was. I suspect that the “Israeli” identity was an affiliation scam, like Bernie Madoff, preying on gullible Jewish investors, but in this case it’s likely the scammer wasn’t even “Israeli”.
How did such a moron make it so high and retire to boot.
Are they ALL morons now?
We could just save a lot of money now and let the muslims and chinese take over.
NOTHING LIKE A HORNEY OLD GOAT THAT CONSTANTLY JUMPS THE FENCES
What an idiot
No, every officer on base should be required to attend an execution, with the base commander required to perform the execution. That might actually make an impression on some of the officers.
