Debt-free, never-divorced staff sergeant loses security clearance

FORT EUSTIS, Va. — The Army announced that it has revoked the security clearance of Staff Sgt. Brett Arnold of the 93rd Signal Brigade, after a routine review uncovered disturbing details about the 31-year-old NCO. Investigators are concerned that Arnold is "completely debt-free" and "has never been divorced."

"This is a very serious issue and initially we weren't releasing the individual’s identity for privacy reasons," says Maj. Robert Boyd a public affairs officer at Fort Eustis. "But everyone knows it's Arnold, because he’s always bragging about how he paid cash for his car."

Boyd says the Army will now conduct an extensive investigation of Arnold. Intelligence officials are concerned that "he is either a Russian operative, or possibly just a loser."
