I watched the Glenn Greenwald podcast about this. It has NOTHING in common with other leaks.
He said the only damaging information was the discrepancy in the number of dead from the war. The reporting on this compared it to the Snowden leak and the Pentagon papers and made it sound like those leaks showed how great the NSA spying was and how great a job the government was doing in Vietnam. (Changing history)
Glenn Greenwald is an idiot and has no idea how much damaging info is in those leaks. Not only is it in-your-face confirmation that we are spying on friends and enemies (which was known but the extent was surprising), but it exposed enough information that Russia would be entirely justified to attack the US and NATO. It also exposed just how plugged-in we are in Russia and will probably lead to a security sweep to find our sources and methods in Russia and set us back bigly, similar to when we were found out in China and most of our assets were killed there.

Reminds me of the Iranian security sweep after Jim Stone exposed the modus operandi of the Bush administration
