The more I read about Manning and the more I read statements from Manning, It strikes me that perhaps Manning (in his own mind), believes that Bradley committed espionage but the Chelsea in him did not. And he has Justified himself as this Chelsea, to be innocent.
Mentally, Bradley has been tried, and convicted, and compartmentalize. Put away, if you will. And when shall we we hear from Bradley again?
Is this schizophrenia?
No, it's perverted faggotry and it's an abomination.
Can only be cured with a hot lead injection.
But the left must have their heroes, as defective as they are.
Mentally, morally, matters not...either or both.
