    In March, Korbein Schultz, an Army intelligence analyst at Fort Campbell, was arrested on a six-count indictment accusing him of spying for a Chinese co-conspirator to whom he would sell U.S. military secrets. Prosecutors say he received $42,000 from June 2022 to March 2024.

    That’s not a lot of money for the risk involved. I would want a lot more. Perhaps the guy was desperately in debt, which is sorta the point of capitalism. Then it makes more sense.

        How a lot of homosexual government workers lost their jobs during the Red Scare.
