did he himself leak the information?
Appears that way. He's unhappy about retirement and health benefits and decided to go public.

O'Neill's decision to speak out was prompted by losing some of his military benefits by quitting the SEALs after 16 years rather than staying for a full 20 years of service.
Can someone who knows about military benefits fill me in on what he would miss out on by only going 16 years rather than 20 years?

A servicemember who chooses to retire with 15 years of service will receive a little more than 35 percent of his or her basic pay over the lifetime of their retirement. This is about 14 percent less than those who get the 50 percent for serving the full 20 years.
