The Massachusetts Air National Guardsman charged with leaking a trove of military secrets was twice admonished by his superiors last year over "concerning actions" he took with regards to classified information, federal prosecutors said in a court filing on Wednesday.

They warned him? Shit, in my unit, if you mishandled any classified documents, no matter how minor the violation or what the intentions were, you were looking at the immediate loss of your security clearance and a court martial.
Psy-op Psy-op whatcha gonna do.

Whatch gonna do when they Psy-op you...bagbois, bagbois.
DeleteKeep his ass in pre-trial confinement and you won’t have to worry about access to the internet, or with foreign governments! Hope he gets transferred to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas for the next 20 years.
ReplyDeleteYes, warned him. The reason for the ANG and the ARNG is...NUMBERS. End strength or total numbers of people required in units is above all else including mission. Some people have skipped drill weekends or several drill weekends and they won't get kicked out. Numbers!
ReplyDeleteIt could be construed that by on issuing warnings and not taking stronger actions after repeated incidents, Teixeira's superiors were providing him guidance that what he was doing was not a severe violation. At the very least his superiors are complicit and based on the story more at fault than Teixeira.
ReplyDeleteThe kink in that logic, and I know it, is that military justice ain't justice.
Don't leak classified documents to the communists.
ReplyDeleteSniffy Joe hates the competition.
"They warned him? Shit, in my unit, if you mishandled any classified documents, no matter how minor the violation or what the intentions were, you were looking at the immediate loss of your security clearance and a court martial."
ReplyDeleteSorry, that would have hurt your feelings. These cruel punishments no longer are allowed.
If I had taken classified material home….
ReplyDeletelike crooked hitlary or pedojoe46….
I’d got an extended stay in Leavenworth.

In my dad's unit, one guy didn't manage the burning of classified documents well enough and ended up in prison for it. What was the document? Just the corner of a page that had the document number on it. That's it. A fragment. For that, 4 years of college, 3 years of flight school and training and everything, thrown away because a scrap got loose.
ReplyDeleteNow? Ever since Sandy Berger got away with stuffing his shorts, pants and socks full of classified material, the wheels have come off.
Now if the suspect was a white Christian straight married happy conservative, they'd have him hanging by his ballsack in 10 seconds or less.
Once upon a time and this ain't no shit, I was walking out of our flightline avionics shop's back door going through the hanger when I noticed two individuals (dressed in Class As) standing next to one of our jets. If this wasn't unusual enough, they were standing in front of an open avionics equipment bay with the panel open with clearly marked with large Secret decals on several LRUs. They also had a base photographer taking lighting readings to take their picture for what I found out was to be a front page spread story about our useless diversity hire black female that was chosen as the Airman of the Quarter. BTW, They failed to mention that she was assigned to the tool crib because she was unfit to work the jets. I made Capt. Obvious and our useless female aware that they were also going to photograph classifed equipment. I lowered the panel so the could proceed with this farce.
ReplyDeleteI later regretted my actions and wished that I would have kept mouth shut. Just thinking about turning this over to the OSI after it was on full view in the base paper still brings a smile to my face. I passed up an opportunity to kill two birds with a single stone. Here's that splash of special to this story...I later found out that one of Capt. Obvious's duties was...you guessed it, our squadron's security officer, that ain't no shit.
I handled lots of top secret classified info during my servitude in the service. I always kept in mind that If I screwed up I could be summarily put in front of a wall and offered one cigarette. Yeah, it straightened out my junk right away.
ReplyDeleteWell I can neither confirm nor deny.
ReplyDeleteYeah I’ve been “read on” a time or two
