Surely you aren't this naive.

He'll probably serve 8, and I really don't have an issue w/ that.

He's getting off too easy. F***ing traitor should have faced a firing squad.

*sigh* I don't want people deciding for to steal classified documents because they are butt hurt....or want fame....or want money. If you think some egregious has gone on.....the chain of command does work. But that video is only a small part of larger picture and one that doesn't show what happened or why. Believe it or not....if the military finds soldiers acted against military rules of engagement.....they do get punished. Silly civilians that only know of war from video games.

And yet it was Prviate Bradley Manning who revealed to us the true horrors of war... unlike American nationalists who think of war as just a video game and real human lives as just NPC's to be mowed down...

Serves the POS right. I still can't believe idiots think of him as some hero. He just started carelessly dumping all the classified info he could and on top of that it wasn't anything that was of any importence to the American public. At least with Snowden he did the public a service by exposing invasions of their privacy. Manningdid nothing of the sort and quite frankly I think he is more of an attention whore than anything....

So much stupid in this post....

Anyone who doesn't think war is horrible is likely too young to even understand what the concept of war is....

And yeah, all of us 'Mericans just wanna grab a M16 and shoot us some towelheads! :roll:

Seriously the amount of racism against Americans that just gets accepted around here is disgusting. How about we start judging other countries based on their worst common denominator considered everyone likes to act like Americans are all big dumb gun loving hicks?

I'm torn on the issue of whistle-blowing.

This is, honestly, the only website forum where I see the most anti-american bias.

I think what he did was good....but offloading nearly a million docs to wikileaks, especially all at once, was a weird and silly move.  I like the way snowden and greenwald handled it better.  There's never perfection, but you can try.

I more or less agree. I think the fact that he gave them to wikileaks, which is clearly anti-american, makes it worse than what Snowden did. Snowden seems to have been trying to improve America. Manning just seems like a petulent child looking to embarass the country.

Plus the average american doesnt know shit about manning or his leaks...snowden leaks his stuff slowly, every week or two, and gave copies to his buddy to also leak them slowly over time, keeping people focused on them and actually reading their documents before choosing what to leak

Bradley Manning now wants to be referred to as Chelsea Manning and wants to start hormone therapy as soon as possible.

Someone was nice enough to change his name on his Wikipedia page.

I know they say lives were put at risk because of the info he leaked, but I wonder if there's actually any truth to that, and if so, why and how many were at risk.PernicioEnigma

He's a guy.

He can lie about it, but he will always be a guy.

People can lie about it with him - he'll still be a guy.

People can get angry at the people who refuse to call him a girl, and call them names like *** phobic - - - he'll still be a guy.

Period.

And yet this guy is able to work for the federal government while he publically plans and encourages terrorist activites. Yup makes perfect sense to me.

i was supportive of him until i seen where he wanted to turn into a girl.. please keep this sick weirdo locked up for our sake..

No, American nationalists are just butt-hurt that Prviate Bradley Manning helped expose your country's genocidal war crimes in Iraq...

If Americans truly understand how "horrible" war is, then why did so many of them support wars and policies that led to the extermination of millions of Iraqis over the past two decades? 

Sorry, but if there's any "racism" here, it's from the American nationalists who supported their government's actions in Iraq...

Oh please, spare me your pro-American nationalistic nonsense... What your country did in Iraq was nothing short of a genocide. I commend Private Bradley Manning for having the courage to exposing your country's war crimes to the world. I have way more respect for courageous "traitors" like Bradley Manning than nationalist cowards who refuse to condemn their own government's crimes against humanity.

[QUOTE="Jag85"]

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"] Pull your head out and come back to reality. He didn't show anything. His goal was to steal classified info....he didn't even know what he was taking....because he was a sad, pathetic piece of shit. What he showed was unfortunate....but does happen in war.....to every country in conflict. It was not intentional. No one thinks war is perfect. But we don't pretend motive where none exists. People jumping on his band wagon are merely ignorant individuals that want to believe in evil.SNIPER4321

and TBH these Terrorists are basically Freedom Fighters who are pissed because Nato bombard their houses.

Private Bradley Manning is more of an American patriot than those American nationalists "defending" their government will ever be... The difference is that Bradley Manning loves the American people, enough to let them know what is happening in their name, whereas American nationalists would much rather bend over backwards for their government and continue to keep the American people in the dark... The real patriots are the ones who are willing to criticize their government when they do wrong, not the nationalists who bend over backwards for their government.

the surprise to me was'nt the sentencing. but the trans-reveal. 

first two thoughts were "well that's weird" and "a twist in the story".

this is the stuff of movies people!  :P

Where is the proof of the statistics you are quoting?  You are making the claim, now it's time to back it up. 

Chelsea... LOL!

This whole affair is really one big comedy.

The true irony is that those with anti-American biases love coming to an American website to spout their rhetoric. Why not just go to a website that would enjoy it?

While it's fighting for that, keep in mind how much cheaper a bullet or lethal injection would have been. Traitor deserves that from the taxpayers, and nothing more.
