London, June 18 (RHC)-- The whistleblower who exposed rampant security flaws on the submarines carrying Britain’s nuclear warheads has been dishonorably discharged from the British Royal Navy.

Able Seaman William McNeilly detailed the lapses in an 18-page report for WikiLeaks, writing that it’s "harder to get into most nightclubs" than into sensitive areas of the nuclear base in Scotland. McNeilly turned himself in to police last month.

In a new report posted online, McNeilly says all of the charges against him have been dropped, but he has been dishonorably discharged "on the claim that my sole aim was to discredit [the Navy’s] public image. It is shocking that some people in a military force can be more concerned about public image than public safety."
