“She” has a wang and an X chromosome. Maybe “she” should be in a freak show?

Manning exposed military, DOD, State Department & Other activities & personnel to disruption & potential danger. It doesn’t matter if in your estimation no one was hurt. If any were it’s very likely you might not know about it. As a low level military intel specialist Manning had no right to make any decision about the material he’s handling. He signed legal documents acknowledging the consequences of mishandling them. If one doesn’t like what those documents stand for or might theoretically say don’t join the military, if you do don’t volunteer for intel analysis training, etc. It’s like joining the military & discover you might go to war & it’s really not just another government job training program despite what the recruiter might have said. If I remember the story right Manning’s motivation was due to a gay love affair tiff. He was mad about his superiors lack of sympathy for his problem so he got back at them that way. How noble & mature!

Not a “she” he is a “he” and always will be. Gender dysphoria is now and will always be a mental illness which should be treated like any other mental health disease.

Jail is exactly where HE belongs.

It’s the Army’s fault for giving him his security clearance, especially at a young age where most men don’t even know themselves.

There are plenty of people of that age in the Army with that level of clearance. The problem was because of his “protected status” he couldn’t be denied the MOS. Then when it became clear he was an immature drama queen he couldn’t be disciplined (Including removed from the Army!)
I don’t blame the Army, you want to blame someone, get the voting public to hold up a mirror! What they allow, the Army to some extent allows. In many ways the Army is a reflection of society!

Homosexuality is non-debilitating psychopathology. Pretending its not doesn’t change the reality.

no just trying to avoid a perjury trap where they catch him up in a lie based on previous testimony and then pressure him to say whatever they want him to say...

*** If I remember the story right Manning’s motivation was due to a gay love affair tiff. ***

I believe his motivation was being sickened by the carnage he saw directed at Afghani Civlians in a JAG video he accessed, the helicopter hunting vid of Iraqis, and the internal docs which revealed the exploitation of the “Third World” by the “First World”.

Nope!

Even if so, his opinion doesn’t matter!

He joined the Army, he signed the security docs knowing the consequences.

He can complain about tactics after his enlistment is up !

Who(and you!)does he think he is Hellary?

Don’t join the Army! It’s not a jobs program!

I would posit his feelings of alienation and psychological problems due to his gender identity/dysphoria contributed, as well as his being repulsed by that to which he had access.

I think you and I do a disservice to the truth about a very complex being when we reduce him to a one dimensional character.

Don’t care!

He signed the security docs!

He needs to do hard hard time breaking rocks. (So does Hellary!!)

And your carnage claims are f’king BS. If I had been in command there would have been much much more! You and Miz Priss would have some real carnage claims. Our rules of engagement got a lot of us killed. Those rules put us at risk first before Afghanis!

Again not his call! He can complain about it later!

U.S. District Judge Claude Hilton ordered Manning to jail Friday after a brief hearing in which Manning confirmed [it] has no intention of testifying.
Thanks Morgana.

I would like to know how he supports himself on meager speaking fees at colleges. Maybe he has a rich benefactor.

Exactly. Most of what she released had nothing to do with Afghanistan or the war. She’s displayed the same delusional hatred of the USA as Reality Winner. Those who believe either are heroes are delusional too. Sad to see such posts on FR.

It is no she!
If one day a future archeologist found his dry bones.
The bones alone would say male & the DNA (if recoverable!) would confirm it!
