    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.

      But you are probably right, they would look for the vulnerable and exploit them. And I mean spies but it applies to capitalism as well.

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