just a minor point, as a military officer: no 22 year-old Private is a career IA agent. 22 year-olds generally aren't a career anything, yet. And I say that having been a 22 year-old. This is basically a kid who had certain scores on some of the military entrance exams during boot camp and therefore got extraordinary access. Why do these kids get such access? Mainly because 1) the American taxpayer is to cheap to hire more qualified help and 2) the military still uses some wildly outdated thinking about information security.
- tptacek 16y agoThanks. You're right. I overstated. I'd also like to add: I think this kid is lucky he got caught now. However much he managed to leak already, he could have made things even worse for himself.
