But given the quantity and quality of data Chinese hackers have been stealing in the past five years, it's possible that they have much of the American technology that makes the F-22 and F-35 possible.

Hackers (what kind of sorry security on the part of engineers and builders here in the US?), or giveaway technology by the liberals who want the utter destruction of our own nation (paging Mr. 0bama).

Hackers...

There were several articles a while back that reported on an infiltration of several gubmint computer systems by "a foreign entity", including the DoD, in 2007. As I recall it was reported that hundreds of terabytes were downloaded by the hackers. As a reference for the amount of info that was stolen, the Library of Congress, with all it's millions of volumes, is about 12 terabytes in total.

So, they (the foreign entity) probably has plans for every major weapons system in our inventory, along with employee records and the type and amount of soap they stock in the executive bathrooms at the Pentagon.....

I don’t think its hackers and I don’t think it was Clinton.

Thousands of engineers of Chinese origin work here, some
have security clearances and access to sensitive information. With family members in China they might have some ‘pressure’ to ‘contribute’ to the Motherland. Also
plain old fashioned greed probably figures in the equation.

We are making China richer every time we buy something,
so maybe every one of us is a ‘Clinton’.
