With all the very clear training and communication We had along with strict practice and Regulations to protect Classified information I fail to understand how anyone can be that stupid. Nothing like providing the evidence right out in the open on a social media platform for everyone to see and then this idiot wonders why He was arrested ?

In a comm. Center in Seoul I saw MP's arrest a Sargent because something I can't say what was lost. It was his job to keep up with and destroy. I am sure it wound up in a burn bag by accident. The problem was he could not prove this and could not present what was lost. HI HO HI HO off to prisons you go. I was ask to take him job as a SP4 be promoted e5 if reup e6. I told them Having the highest security clearance the nation has puts me at enough risk. Certain messages I can say I handled everyone yes everyone even maintained had to leave the room begore I could receive it. Could not come back in until i decoded it put in double sealed enveloped Then they could come back in. MP's with machine gun came and got it to deliver to addressee . Then every time a Colonial from the Pingeton yes DC to Seoul came in the room and looked on backup tapes trash bends up everyone rear end looking for the message. If they had found anything I would have been back to Leavenworth on the other side of the fence. LOL Look at my assignment record. I was strip searched it Kempo berfoe I left Seoul. Meet by the FBI in Seattle strip searched again as if I found something classified on the plaane. Told i could never get a passport and don't ask for one which people on thins site have called me a lier and said that does not happen. And for what . FEMA to screw me over in the Dec. 10 Tornado??? To be ignored by other vets at the VA when they find out I did not serve in Viet Nam.
To be screwed out of a Vet benefit by the state of KY because they say I am not a KY vet because on my DD214 i was drafted in Denton, Tx. Which is true because I was in a children's home ATT. Probably the FBI will read this and arrest me LOL I am a christian most of the time LOl. i believe in ancient Israel's ay of dealing with crime. Stone them.

Leak suspect, 21, is a US National Guard airman
A 21-year-old US Air National Guardsman has been arrested over a leak of classified military intelligence that has rattled the US and its allies.
Jack Teixeira, who reportedly shared the files in an online gaming chatroom, faces charges under the Espionage Act.
Aerial footage showed officers making an arrest at Mr Teixeira's family home in Dighton, Massachusetts.
The documents he leaked revealed intelligence about the war in Ukraine and US spying on allies.
Footage of the arrest in the town of 8,000 people about an hour south of Boston shows a young man, believed to be Mr Teixeira, walking backwards with his hands raised to armed FBI officers. He was handcuffed and led to a vehicle.
Roads in the area were blocked by police officers during the arrest.

Background from the link you posted {[taskandpurpose.com/news/air-force-jack-teixeira-data-leak/]}
The FBI has arrested Airman 1st Class Jack Douglas Teixeira, 21, in connection with a massive data leak that has exposed classified information about Ukraine, Russia, and other countries.
Teixeira joined the Air Force in September 2019, and he is currently serving as a cyber transport systems journeyman with the Massachusetts Air National Guard, according to his service record, which the Air Force provided to Task & Purpose on Thursday.
His duty station is listed as Otis Air National Guard Base, Massachusetts, but he was reportedly assigned to Fort Bragg, North Carolina, when he allegedly leaked classified documents online.
Teixeira’s only military award listed in his service record is an Air Force Achievement Medal.
The New York Times first reported on Thursday that Teixeira was a suspect in the data leak, which has strained U.S. relations with Ukraine, Israel, and South Korea.
Teixeira is accused of sharing the classified documents in a chat group for video game enthusiasts that he oversaw called “Thug Shaker Central,” where young people talked about guns and shared racist memes, the New York Times reported.
FBI agents took Teixeira into custody “without incident” on Thursday afternoon, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland told reporters. Now the airman is expected to appear in federal court in Massachusetts.
Air Force Gen. Patrick Ryder, a Pentagon spokesman, deferred reporters’ questions about Teixeira to Justice Department officials on Thursday.
Without naming Teixeira, Ryder described the data leak under investigation as “a deliberate criminal act.”
“We have procedures, we have protocols in place,” Ryder said during a Pentagon news briefing. “We receive regular training on the proper handling of classified information. As I mentioned, we sign non-disclosure agreements. So, those rules are very clear and anyone who has a security clearance knows that. Anyone who violates those rules is doing so willfully.”
Following the data leak, the Defense Department has started to review who needs to have access to the type of sensitive information that was leaked, Ryder said.
Ryder also drove home his point that the leak is a criminal act by comparing it to a home burglary.
“If you locked your front door and somebody came into your house and took something; you followed your procedures and you locked your door, but somebody went in your house and took something and put it out on the street,” Ryder said. “That’s what we’re talking about here.”

Among the secrets already revealed: sensitive information on the war in Ukraine and evidence of the US spying on its allies. American officials are in diplomatic damage control mode, trying to manage the coverage of a story that shows no sign of letting up.
