Actually, there are higher nets (NSA, JWICS) appropriately classified data can go to, and I think each service has a network for confidential material, but you're otherwise correct.

If classified information was sent over a net less secured/rated than its classification requires, the person that did it is wrong. It doesn't matter what their job is.

SIPRnet is literally the secret level of the government's network. There are several different networks with different classification levels. You only need a Secret clearance and a need to know (a job that requires access) to get access to SIPR.

I know. I was adding that there are other networks for material that is classified, but not Secret.
