A tremendous failure of judgment. Grounds for instant removal from any classified activity, if not termination of employment. You just absolutely do NOT discuss classified subject matter with anyone not specifically (1) cleared for it, and (2) having a "need to know" (not determined by YOU). This is not hard to "do."
I was puzzled at the reference to nuclear missiles "underground" (in silos) when he was an Army guy. All the ICBMs are under Space Force control. Then it occurred to me he might be referring to the interceptors of the Ground-Based Midcourse Defense (GBMD) system. Easy to ring that up on Wikipedia and find that one major deployment is at Fort Greely, Alaska. And also easy to plug that into Google maps and home in on the very silos themselves. So, he may not have disclosed anything secret about that, but everything taken together is like a strip tease at a packed theater.
