A young gun enthusiast who worked on a military base is believed to be responsible for the leak of hundreds of classified Pentagon documents, The Washington Post reported on Wednesday. The man, identified only as “OG” by his internet chat group, allegedly leaked the documents in an attempt to impress his two dozen fellow members.

OG claimed to have access to classified information as part of his job on a military base, but the specific location was not disclosed.
