The number one rule of dealing with a traffic accident is to stop your vehicle when safe to do so. I've seen many people gently caress that up.

I went in a while back to help with a bag drag and pre-deployment orientation. One of the services guys helping out was already not making a good impression on me. Stupid sounding voice, talking about Joe Rogan a bunch, etc. Then in an aside to his friend he says “Just saw my babymama’s dad in there, Asian fella, he doesn’t like me very much….” That clued me in to who he was. A friend of mine retired a few years back. His daughter joined but got a stress fracture in basic training, and decided to just quit. At some point she gets knocked up by this clown. Who initially refused to have anything to do with the kid, and has to be forced to pay child support.

His mom wants to be a grandma, but the whole family is a disaster who shouldn’t be responsible for any kids. The one time they watched the kid they dumped him in a room and went and hosed off somewhere else for a few hours. So my friend is spending a bunch of money on a lawyer to prevent dumbfuck from having any custody. The kicker is he’s now knocked up someone else too. So his little E-4 drill and orders checks are being garnished to pay child support to two different women. What a champ.

I knew a chief who managed to get two chicks at once pregnant so he joined the navy to escape (still on the hook for childcare) and once he was in a third was discovered. He managed to stay in and retire but his whole career was garnished because of his rawdog habits.

https://www.stripes.com/branches/army/2024-08-13/korbein-schultz-pleads-guilty-selling-sensitive-military-information-14856589.html

quote:

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — An Army soldier has pleaded guilty to charges that accuse him of selling sensitive information related to U.S. military capabilities, including dozens of documents addressing topics ranging from rocket systems to Chinese military tactics.

Sgt. Korbein Schultz, who was also an intelligence analyst, entered the guilty plea Tuesday in federal court in Nashville. He had previously pleaded not guilty, then last month requested a hearing to change his plea.

In total, Shultz received at least 14 payments totaling $42,000, prosecutors have said.

Schultz was accused in a six-count indictment of charges including conspiring to obtain and disclose military defense information and bribery of a public official. The 24-year-old was arrested in March at Fort Campbell, which straddles the Tennessee-Kentucky line, shortly after the indictment was released.

He pleaded guilty to all charges against him and will be sentenced on Jan. 23, 2025. A federal public defender representing Schultz declined to comment Tuesday.

“Let this case serve as a warning: if any member of the Army, past or present, is asked for classified or sensitive information, they should report it to the appropriate authorities within 24 hours or be held fully accountable for their inaction,” Brigadier General Rhett R. Cox, Commanding General of the Army Counterintelligence Command, said in a news release.

The indictment alleged that Schultz — who had a top-secret security clearance — conspired with an individual identified only as “Conspirator A” to disclose various documents, photographs and other national defense materials since June 2022. The indictment said that Schultz was recruited by the individual not only due to his security clearance but also because he was tasked with gathering sensitive U.S. military information.

Some of the information Schultz supposedly gave to the individual included information related to rocket, missile and artillery weapons systems, including the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System; hypersonic equipment; tactics to counter drones; U.S. military satellites; studies on future developments of U.S. military forces; and studies on military drills and operations in major countries such as China.

The indictment said that Schultz was initially asked to provide documents detailing lessons that could be learned from Russia’s war with Ukraine and how those lessons could be applied to the U.S. in helping Taiwan in the event of an attack. Schultz was paid $200 for that information, which then prompted Conspirator A to ask for a “long-term partnership.”

Conspirator A, who was described in the indictment as a foreign national purporting to reside in Hong Kong, later suggested that Schultz could earn more money if he handed over “internal only” material rather than unclassified documents.

I’m never surprised that people sell secrets, to me that’s human nature. However I am always surprised just how loving cheap they end up being, like I would demand tens of millions to sell out my country, my future, and ever being able to earn money going forward.

But I’m curious how 14 payments turned into only 6 charges.

I think that MBAs are useful, in case you are looking for an answer to the question of "Is lightpole a total fucking idiot".
In my negotiations class in our first negotiation there was no prize or anything, just an imaginary "win" that was entirely meaningless. People still had no problem lying to get it. A lot of people undervalue integrity and sell it cheap.

These stories always astound me, because I'm amazed at all the different sort of poo poo some 24-year-old knucklehead can get his hands on.

I honestly don't touch TS very often, but even the secret and confidential stuff at my company is pretty strictly controlled from a need-to-know perspective--with permissions and access groups that ensure you can only access stuff that's relevant to your current tasking/project.

I remember reading about that ANG intel fuckwit who shared confidential material on Discord--wasn't he previously warned about accessing material that wasn't related to his job? Do they just fuckin throw all the TS into some giant shared folder for all these nubs to pick through?

I wonder if offering larger sums might actually get less bites, because if you’re getting $10k for them you can tell yourself that it’s not like these are the important secret docs, it’s just a bit of penny-ante bullshit, whereas if you’re getting $1m for them it becomes emotionally true that this is Real and Big.

People noticed he was sticking his nose into poo poo he had no need to know about, and was caught taking notes. But nobody with any power wanted to do anything about it until it blew up in their faces. A simple printer audit would have shown the sheer amount of poo poo he was printing out.

Oh yeah, there’s certainly that. They also had him on night shift with almost no supervision despite some in his unit referring to him as the “school shooter kid”. Which wasn’t far off because he told his online girlfriend about how he wanted to shoot up his old high school.
