Another peer reviewer hated it, dismissing it with a single paragraph and saying the content was disappointing.

A young, impressionable low ranking enlisted airman got away with collecting and disseminating high classified information for months, in one of the worst security breaches of the modern era. It seems like a disproportionate amount of the reporting has gone into explaining discord’s structure and culture instead of the 102nd IW’s operations.“Breaking news, 21 year old enlisted troops are still dumb! Tune back in at 11 for a comparison to other disasters caused by a soldier bragging in public in ancient egypt, the roman republic, mycenian greece, dynaistic china, the mongol empire, biblical judea, persia, gaul, the revolutionary war, the civil war, ww1, ww2, and the cold war! After that, a shocking expose that people can share files on the internet anonymously!”

How’s the story of a dumb kid and the existence of social media platforms really more interesting than the career officers of the 102nd Intel wing who let this happen?

The relevant questions here are the institutional ones. Has the pentagon made plans to meaningfully change how they operate to stop this sort of thing from happening again?

How far up the chain of command does this failure go? Will be repercussions for his commanding officers? How did nobody notice that these documents were being illegally accessed, moved, copied, or even taken? How does the military plan to stop the next Teixeira from reenacting Dr. Strangelove instead of Jack Ryan?
