"n Army soldier has pleaded guilty to charges that accuse him of selling China 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.
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."

Fuerhoff is just my legal name - I didn't change it after my divorce. That's my existence name. His dad's side is very German. Pretty much all German. I only have a little on my mom's side. More Scottish and English ancestry.

That's one of 1.29 million active duty military personnel. Not bad odds if you ignore the consequences of the sergeant's perfidy. On another note, there are approximately 2.95 civilian federal civil servants. Using the same percentage, it's twice as likely that one of those have been up to no good. Maybe that's the one who stole everyone's Social Security number. Of course, stealing our SSN's isn't as consequential as selling military secrets, especially since no one is using SSN's for personal identification, right? (Look at your SS card if you can find it. It says right there, Not for Identification.)

"Yes, a Social Security card can be used as an ID in the United States. However, the card is only official verification of the Social Security number (SSN) assigned to the person whose name is on the card. It's not proof of the cardholder's identity, citizenship, or noncitizen status."
"To use a Social Security card as ID, you can sign it and present it with photo ID that also has your signature. Acceptable forms of photo ID include: An unexpired driver's license, A government-issued ID card, Military identification, and A passport"
I don't care how few it is in the military selling classified or sensitive info. One is too many. ESPECIALLY when you're a 35 series.
