press secretary did about just why this this 21 year old air national guardsman was allowed, apparently to have access to such classified material and what pentagon press secretary writer told reporters that essentially the military and trust highly classified information to people of all ages, including very young service members, essentially depends on what your job is and what you need to do that job. he gave the example of course of very young service members at leading people into combat. he said that basically it doesn t matter what your age is. it is just the job that you need to do. and so the pentagon did say, however, that they are taking steps to mitigate any potential leaks like this in the future. they are limiting the amount of information, for example, that they are disseminating widely across the u. s government. we have been told that people who were receiving these kinds of highly classified documents over the last several months have simply stopped receivin
