Find it amusing there doesn't seem to be any great motive to the leak. He just wanted to impress his mates on some shitty Discord server and it quickly got out of control for him.

That would at least mean company; but he's off to the Super-Max in Colorado, where he'll spend 23hrs a day alone in his 8x4 cell, & then 1hr walking alone around a drained swimming pool, with a view only of the sky directly above, so he can't even work out where his cell is.EnergiseR2 wrote: Thu Apr 13, 2023 8:38 pm Unfortunately for him the consequences are so great he will be face down in a pillow for the rest of his life.

There's a good reason why people in solitary almost all go crackers.

change white to black in that scenario and she'd be calling for a public lynching.

So we are all cool with British and American troops being in the ground in Ukraine?
You all board or summut, and want to go to war with Russia?
What, you think your skin needs massive isotope tan?

No.. I think there should be a lot more! Instead we are standing behind the Ukrainian troops thanking them for doing our dirty work... here.. have some more bullets... but not too many.. don't want to anger the Russians.. in case they attack us! Which by the way, they will do if you lose.. so don't lose... no backwards step... we're all relying on you...Line6 HXFX wrote: Fri Apr 14, 2023 9:23 am So we are all cool with British and American troops being in the ground in Ukraine?

However, a lot of the secret info just seems to have been scraped off Twitter, which doesn't say a lot about the US intelligence community.
You're kidding right? We should be there for sure. Instead of using Ukrainians as our proxy fighters... they're not just defending Ukraine, but the whole of Europe... I think we are letting them down badly...Sandstorm wrote: Fri Apr 14, 2023 11:12 amNo, I don't think anyone wants that.Line6 HXFX wrote: Fri Apr 14, 2023 9:23 am So we are all cool with British and American troops being in the ground in Ukraine?

There was a number of leaks on the War thunder forums: One Chinese guy leaked part of the real specs for their tanks, also a French guy leaked some classified info on the Leclerc Antitank APFSDS shells.robmatic wrote: Fri Apr 14, 2023 11:28 amIt is dumb as fuck.Hal Jordan wrote: Thu Apr 13, 2023 7:28 pm Seriously, WTF, 21 year old reservist is dropping US national secrets on his gaming group?

Yep, was about to mention the various War Thunder leaks. Sure some guy posted a classified Challenger 2 Tank manual too during an argument about specs. Mindblowing the stuff people will do to win an argument or impress people online.laurent wrote: Fri Apr 14, 2023 11:41 amThere was a number of leaks on the War thunder forums: One Chinese guy leaked part of the real specs for their tanks, also a French guy leaked some classified info on the Leclerc Antitank APFSDS shells.robmatic wrote: Fri Apr 14, 2023 11:28 amIt is dumb as fuck.Hal Jordan wrote: Thu Apr 13, 2023 7:28 pm Seriously, WTF, 21 year old reservist is dropping US national secrets on his gaming group?

I'm in a job-line that comes across these people regularly. They tend to be be low in grade, above normal IQ, but low in esteem, typical nerd. Personally, and accepting that I'm technically a contractor too, these individuals are viewed as (outside the US) non-trustworthy. Regrettably, these persons seem to be given access to classified material which NATO protocols deny. The US military security system is fucked.fishfoodie wrote: Fri Apr 14, 2023 9:49 pmOnly if they're inhabited by desperately needy incel gobshites, so you'll probably have to head over to PRUncle fester wrote: Fri Apr 14, 2023 9:24 pmSo obscure online forums are the place to go if you want to get your hands on top secret info?laurent wrote: Fri Apr 14, 2023 11:41 am

Yeah, I've encountered exactly this type before. In the US they gravitate towards the National Guard, & any job that allows them to carry a gun & wear a uniform, like horrifically, the summer "Specials", temporary police officers hired for the busy summer season in holiday towns.Wyndham Upalot wrote: Fri Apr 14, 2023 10:13 pmI'm in a job-line that comes across these people regularly.

The regular cops had feck all training, but specials didn't even have that much; & caused more crimes than they helped stop.
Anyone who takes a job so they can wear a uniform, or carry a gun, shouldn't be let within a million miles of the job, & fundamentally this is a complete failure of the vetting process of "Top Secret" access, cause by the shear size of the system.
Even "Top Secret" shouldn't have allowed him access to this stuff, because he had no legitimate "Need to Know", that's the another massive, massive failure.
The Israelis when fucking apeshit when shitgibbon casually doxed one of their sources to the fucking Russians !!!!!
If the yanks don't demonstrate that they are clamping down hard on this, & throw this dipshit to the wolves, then they'll have no reason to complain if the rest of the Intelligence community just cuts them out of the conversation.
