I hate to say it, but if he's convicted, the punishment will be death. He knowingly and willfully released classified information. It's made clear to everyone with a clearance that by doing this they could face penalties up to and including death. You can debate the merits of the death penalty all you want, but as an enlisted member of the US Army with an active clearance, he knew what he was doing and he knew or should have known of the possible penalty.
