Highest-ranking Navy officer yet sentenced in sex-for-secrets scandal

Four years? If this was an enlisted man we'd be watching the First Nation's hanging in years.

"selling military secrets to an Asian defense contractor in exchange for prostitutes, stays at luxury hotel and other favors."

Seriously? Four years?!

It really makes me want to question peoples values CPT Aaron Kletzing. And I do believe there is a Vice Admiral who had his security clearance pulled as DOD figures out what to do with him while he maintains his innocence. RHIP once again!

It is a sad mark on our military. Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, we will never know the true details of what occurred here. I can only wonder about the sentence. I am sure there are numerous facts that we are not aware of. However, since the case was already tried and the sentence handed out, I have to wonder what the sentence would have been if the individual were a Master Chief (E9), a Senior Chief (E-8) or a Chief (E-7). I am thinking more along the lines of busted to pay grade E-1, dishonorable discharge, forfeiture of all pay and allowance, longer jail time, and a bad-conduct once the jail time was completed. I have to admit that I am one of those who hold our senior leaders in high regard and feel that when they fail our service to such an extreme extent, then they should face the same consequences as those they command. Just a thought. But, still, what a sad day for all of us.
