This I would opine that is not a CAPITAL offense so that is probably not an option for the court. However, sentence, if convicted, may include DISHONORABLE DISCHARGE, forfeiture of all pay and allowances, and prison. IF convicted, I hope they all receive the maximum allowed under the UCMJ.
I, as a AF Vet, totally agree!!!!!!!!!!!!:BigApplause:

And forfeiture of all monies received during retirement----

I want to remind everyone who is reading this who has ever served in the military how much respect we all have for you, how much we honor you and how much we owe you. This terrible thing in no way reflects on any of you or diminishes any of you.


If I could salute you properly I would, but I do know how to hug and so I am sending hugs to you and your families.

Many accuse the Morse Family of greed while they are building communities for us to live in, stimulating the economy by buying supplies, creating jobs, ETC. That is not greed. This man, THIS IS GREED.

I never served in the surface navy,BUT, from what I heard from enlisted who served aboard 'FLAG SHIPS" duty for the enlisted was pure hell, constant personnel inspections, spit & polish very day and Captain's masts were plentiful--the 0-6 who was indicted commanded a "Flag Ship"

Not too innocent, it seems.

And let's remember that several defendants, including Fat Leonard, have already pled guilty and many are already serving sentences (Leonard to be sentenced 4/3).
my guess is that Fat Leonard made a deal. Where else would the indictment have such precise figures and emails? The defendants destroyed their side of things. The timing of Leonard's sentencing suggests he's the one supplying the information.

We just got back from a trip, so this is the first time I have read about this. This is concerning at any level, no matter who was involved.

aside from the betrayal, they willingly let the government be overcharged for services.....contributing to more waste in the budget.

I served in the military and this is a sad situation.
I do believe this can be considered Treason if classified materiel was given to foreign nationals. I respect the fact the indicted are innocent till proven guilty but if this is proven true it stinks.

One issue that has not been addressed is the Family, Friends and Neighbors that have been duped by this man for years and in all probability his wife knew what was going on

Here you have a retired Navy Captain with a distinguished career squeak clean etc.etc. and then all of sudden, he gets arrested and the allegations come out on what he is being accused of. Just think for a minute what your Family,Friends and Neighbors are thinking that for Years they have been led to believe that the Lausman's are the kind, honest, decent respectable that people would look up to, and would be happy to know and socialize with.

Only to find out...that they are the " Allegedly " the Exact Opposite. Imagine yourselves in that situation. None of these people would have knowingly invited them into their homes or associated with them had they known...that is the Key...Had they only Known.

To be a...Thief and a Liar, is Bad enough, But Selling your Country Secrets... is Unforgivable ... the Individual must be held accountable, and all who were involved.

Anyone who is a Thief and Liar has a very serious character flaw and then Double Cross your Country...

I've been around some of their friends who are still defending them. They obviously haven't read the indictment.

According to a survey, more Americans are worried about government corruption than they are of terrorist attacks..
