Assuming he truly did leak classified info, he did so on an unsecured resource. Anyone can access even private Discord servers with an invite, and since most gamers don't use their real names, it takes little effort to get that invite. Once it's posted, people showing up after the fact can access the scroll-back.
Innocent til proven guilty and all that. But the crime, whether he did it or not, is deserving of punishment. It doesn't matter what classified docs were leaked. It doesn't matter that they weren't really a big deal and probably shouldn't have been classified. There is such a thing as the "rule of law." There is also such a thing as "National Security."
If you start saying "well he was only a kid" or "it's just a gamer chat room" or "it's only random info that shouldn't be classified" then you disrespect everything the military stands for. Their JOB is to protect our country. That includes its secrets, whether they're "big" secrets or "no one cares" secrets. If they refuse to do even that one thing, then they need to be punished.
IF he did it, he should get jail time. And a dishonorable discharge. And banned from using the internet until such time as the judge can determine he's learned his lesson in the topic of "privileged information."
