Anyone who purposely leaks top-secret information which jeopardizes our national security should spend the rest of their lives in prison. And if any Americans or our allies get killed because of the leak, the leaker should be shot by a firing squad or hung by the neck until dead.

I couldn’t agree more. It’s time to end this BS of military people leaking classified info to make a political statement. Fry ‘em.

Fair enough, but I'm withholding judgment on this one until we know if what he leaked did that. The helicopter video is potentially embarrassing, depending on who you ask, but it isn't a threat to national security. So it all depends on the contents of the rest of the items he leaked.

If they contained secret information about troop placements and deployment plans, then yes. String him up. But the government also has a bad habit of classifying everything to the level of absurdity.

There is actually a reasonable chance in this case that "top secret" equals Hillary's receipt from the minibar at the Ritz.
