Fall from grace

In this story, a naval officer, formerly of Taiwan, has been charged with espionage, and patronizing a prostitute  See story here...https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/checkpoint/wp/2016/04/11/the-fall-of-edward-lin-the-navy-pilot-accused-of-espionage-and-patronizing-a-prostitute/ .

Here we have this guy dressed up in his uniform, peaked cap, medals, emblems and is riding on top of the world, and literally as a naval flight officer. Now, he probably sits in a lowly prison cell, facing perhaps many years of imprisonment. All this because he spied against his own country.

What can I say about this story, it is difficult to swallow but it is a most serious crime and the American government comes down hard on such cases.
