A low-level, 21-year-old Air National Guardsman active on a chat platform popular among gamers was arrested Thursday and charged with leaking hundreds of pages of classified U.S. military intelligence online.
Lately it seems you can’t throw a paper airplane (made from a top-secret document) without hitting leaked or mishandled top-secret documents.
But don’t worry, I’m here to help.
Given the recent rash of leaks and top-secret whoopsies, I propose the federal government immediately issue the following memo.
To: All government officials and members of the military
Subject: A quick refresher on classified documents
Folks, at the risk of sounding pedantic, we need to talk about what the words “classified” and “top secret” mean. It seems some of you may have forgotten.
We have had top-secret and classified documents showing up in chats on the popular social platform Discord, in a garage where President Joe Biden parks his Corvette, in former Vice President Mike Pence’s Indiana home and, quite probably, under one of the chafing dishes at former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago breakfast buffet.
Not cool, people. Not cool at all. Getting to see and handle classified documents is a right, not a privilege, and we will take that right away if these irresponsible shenanigans continue.
