Welcome back to your family. I am your host Margot and this is Military Murder, a show where I focus on crimes committed by military members and veterans.

But don't worry, you don't have to know anything about the military to listen, I promise.

You just have to be a true teacher and if that's you, welcome home.

Today's case is one that you might find me covering in brief snippets either on TikTok or on Instagram,

but after really digging and getting into the arrest after David and other records, I felt it most appropriate for my biggest fans.

Specifically because this case has had huge implications for the entire Air Force at least, if not the entire military.

Alright, I'm talking about Jack Tushira, the little twerp out of the Massachusetts Air National Guard who was actively releasing top secret documents that he did not even have a need to know about.

Allegedly, as soon as Jack was arrested, anyone who was actively serving, well, we all got emails about renewing our security training, even if we had just done it.

We had to review training and agree all over again. Now, if you're in the Air Force, not sure how other branches do it, but you might recall this voice.

Hi, I'm Tina. I heard that the base is moving to teleworking. I saw you took a photo of the new reduced manning schedule.

Can you post that to face base and tag me? A coworker has asked you to post sensitive information to a public social media platform. What would you like to do?

Yep, it's Tina from security training. Oh my gosh. She is literally the bane of my existence and honestly doing that yearly training seems so tedious.

But today's case is exactly why we have to do the training because some idiot and intel thinks it's cute to release documents.

Before I begin my typical disclaimer, today's case is still an active case and Jack Tashira is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Join me today as I tell you the status of the currently active Jack Tashira federal court case. Now, let's dig in.

The Times magazine wrote an article when today's case broke like the same day that it broke and honestly it reads like a novel. Here is the opening credit.

Well, moments before his arrest by armed FBI agents on Thursday, a helicopter from a local news station called footage of 21-year-old Jack Tashira reading a book on the Sun's Flash Back porch of his house in North Dynan, Massachusetts.

In his front yard, meanwhile, FBI agents think camouflage tactical gear were climbing out of an armed vehicle, tightening the straps of their bulletproof vest and gripping long guns.

The dramatic scene played out in a sleepy Riverside excerb underscored the peculiarity of a case that exposed military documents, complicated relations with US allies, and triggered national embarrassment.
