I thought I read this before, and sure enough it’s a follow up to a 2023 article

TL;DR: 21 year old national guard leaked classified documents on Discord for attention and got caught for it. Nice work.

To be fair, leaking government secrets is the most effective defense against momma jokes.

Was this a more significant leak than the Gulf oil spill? I think not.

The people responsible for that one are rich, and they can do no wrong.

Not only wouldn’t he see a punishment, but he’d be elected a second time to do it again!

No no no, see:

FBI Director Christopher Wray said that his sentence should serve as “a stark warning to all those entrusted with protecting national defense information: betray that trust, and you will be held accountable.”

They mean business! For real this time. No take backs. While supplies last. Void in some states. Not all locations participate. Some restrictions apply.

Instead it is a message to tyrants: The US is for sale, you may loot and pillage as you desire. The law cannot and will not stop you.
