Having held various security clearances, I know what should have happened. All persons involved should have been fired on the spot and their clearances cancelled. This includes Pete Hegseth, and Congress should impeach Trump. It is not only about what was or was not revealed but also about ignoring the severity of the conduct.

Let's not be distracted by the details: use of compromised personal phones and "secure" but unauthorized apps like Signal, or "was it really classified". The core problem here is that these "patriots" did not use the real comm systems because they did not want even classified records of what they were saying or doing to exist outside their control. Because it involved ongoing military ops, this is far worse than Hillary's server, but the root issue is similar--trying to avoid accountability, and being too confident to understand just how little they really know.
