Assange is a criminal and not a hero. Anyone who supports Assange in the least hates the US Military.

Sorry but I'm a vet and view Assange as a hero alongside Linda Tripp.........

We know how Linda Tripp's saga turned out despite all the attacks by the MSM, folks like you, and the Democrap party.

But we have yet to even begin to see what an Assange full disclosure will reveal........

Don't be too enthusiastic on seeing him imprisoned..........Sheesh!

Negative, nickcarraway. I am a veteran. And I do not hate the guy. It was learned in testimony, that the info that was released didn’t have significant impact.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/jun/20/chelsea-manning-wikileaks-no-impact-us-war-pentagon

The publication of hundreds of thousands of secret US documents leaked by the Aarmy soldier Chelsea Manning in 2010 had no strategic impact on the American war efforts in Afghanistan and Iraq, a newly released Pentagon analysis concluded.
The main finding of the Department of Defense report, written a year after the breach, was that Manning’s uploading of more than 700,000 secret files to the open information organization WikiLeaks had no significant strategic effect on the US war efforts.

If you want to be mad at anyone, be mad at the he/she. As I stated, I do not consider Assange a hero. And it may be moving the goalposts. Given the above information, what he outed about our government sponsored espionage on innocent US citizens, the Podesta’s and the rigged DNC charade, is more important than what an insignificant he/she provided him.

I think if you talk to a lot of vets, they would agree with me, that they’re more concerned about what our government is doing to its own citizens, than anything else.

You have your opinion, I have mine. No need to get personal or get into name calling as others do, either. I’m not a traitor. I left my job as a police officer and deployed, after the attacks. If I were younger and it happened all over again, I’d do the same, without hesitation.
