However, after this Democrat Congressman leaked secret military information resulting in hundreds of sailor’s deaths, and a later bribery conviction, he retained influence in Democratic party politics, and President Truman decided to grant him a full pardon in 1952.
Corruption, convictions, and stupidity continue to be Democrat resume builders to this day.
A quick summary for those who want to know about the traitor May!
Historian Clay Blair claimed that May was responsible for a major release of highly confidential military information during World War II, known as the May Incident.[3] In that incident, U.S. submarines had been conducting a successful undersea war against Japanese shipping during World War II, frequently escaping Japanese anti-submarine depth charge attacks.[3][4] However, the deficiencies of Japanese depth-charge tactics were revealed in a press conference held in June 1943 by Congressman May on his return from a war zone junket.[3][4]
At this press conference, May revealed the highly sensitive fact that American submarines had a high survival rate because Japanese depth charges were typically fuzed to explode at too shallow a depth.[3][4] Various press associations sent this leaked news story over their wires and many newspapers (including one in Honolulu, Hawaii), published it.[3][4]
It was subsequently discovered that Japanese naval antisubmarine forces were adjusting their depth charges to explode at a deeper depth.[3][4] Vice Admiral Charles A. Lockwood, commander of the U.S. submarine fleet in the Pacific, later estimated that May’s security breach cost the United States Navy as many as ten submarines and 800 crewmen killed in action,[3][4] stating “I hear Congressman May said the (Japanese) depth charges are not set deep enough.
He would be pleased to know (they) set them deeper now.”[3][4] A report from the U.S. Navy’s Pacific Submarine Fleet determined that Japanese anti-submarine warfare (ASW) forces failed to uncover the maximum test depth ability of U.S. fleet submarines during the war.[5] However, the report made no finding as to whether Japanese ASW forces altered their depth charge attacks to deeper settings as a consequence of May’s revelation to the press.[5]
Great tagline.
I had to read it twice with the help of my second cup of coffee!
