Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During the anticommunist crusade, people were dismissed from their jobs as security risks if they were seen as vulnerable to blackmail or pressure that could compromise them and their work. This included individuals who were alcoholics, homosexuals, and debtors. Ethel and Julius Rosenberg were dismissed and later executed for espionage, not simply for being security risks. J. Edgar Hoover and his staff were not dismissed, and while Henry A. Wallace was targeted for his leftist beliefs, he was not dismissed solely as a security risk.
