US Strips Jewish Army Major of Security Clearance

Sounds like the guy has divided loyalties to me. Pick a country, Major, and go with it. Don't expect special security clearance handling just because you have been forthcoming.

Or a cup half full?

When his family moved to Israel he was drafted and served there.

He came back to his homeland and chose to serve (something usually applauded on FR) the United States.

His status was known.

Yeah, sounds like a real bad guy. Not 100% American like the true blue Walkers, Ames, Hansens, et al.

Bravo! It is not uncommon for the Irish in American, many generations removed from Ireland to support the IRA. Nor is it uncommon for Jews to support Israel. For this simple, that there is some risk to US security, that I applaude this action. Would this be headlines, today, if it were an Islamic US Army Major?

shoot the SOB in the head I say..

Now there is a sane response. LOL.

They knew what this fellow's background was.

[Sabramerican]

shoot the SOB in the head I say

For any particular reason?

[Askel5]

however, we do not even tell the British, Germans, etc, everything we know and do

Yeah, but they're not a "51st State" like Israel.

Israel's "special".

Where are your rants against Muslims who wear USA armed forces uniforms?

Jews haven't been attacking America in case you haven't noticed.

Basically, in US Army Intelligence, if you aren't a Mason, fuggedaboudit!

[Zviadist]

We have no information on WHY this guy's security clearance was pulled. Typically these matters are not commented upon by those in authority. Obviously something happened beyond just being Jewish to get his clearance yanked. Him running to the foreign press at first opportunity does suggest that he might not have been trustworthy. Too bad, pal, holding a security clearance is not a civil right.

[Pharmboy]

I would bet that there is more going on here than meets the eye. Perhaps that is why he went to the Israeli press before our own. Let's wait for the rest of the story...

wHY HAS THE WORLD always BEEN MAD AT Jews.....

They haven't - but the wingnut anti-Semites always are.

Must have miserable lives. Underachievers and all.

That's the way the nazis talked, and you know what happened after that.

I'm surprised that he got a clearance in the first place. When I was an MP one of the members of my squad married a West German. He was denied a security clearance because his wife had relatives living in East Germany.

He was thrilled, without a secuity clearance he couldn't be assigned guard duty. There are Mp companies that do nothing but watch the grass grow as they guard ammo dumps.

Yeah, they are hoping for a revival.

With over 200 Muslim "charities" in the USA being investigated for ties to terrorist organizations, one Army guy ain't no big deal.

[Poohbah]

Uh, maybe he went to the US press, and the US press didn't cover it.

One thing I have noticed is that beyond "Bubba and the Rednecks" kinds of antisemitism, real-world antisemitism never gets called for what it is--it's always framed as "you must try to understand the complex issues of diversity and multiculturalism" (insert obligatory BARF here).

For example, the folks in the Southwestern US who agitate for establishing "Aztlan" tend to make extremely anti-semitic remarks--and usually call for any and all Jews in or NEAR "Aztlan" to be exterminated. Does the mainstream press ever discuss this? Hell, no!

his wife had relatives living in East Germany.

East Germany was not our ally...remember?
