Bradley Manning, suspected source of Wikileaks documents, raged on his Facebook page

The US Army intelligence analyst, who is half British and went to school in Wales, appeared to sink into depression after a relationship break-up, saying he didn't "have anything left" and was "beyond frustrated".

In an apparent swipe at the army, he also wrote: "Bradley Manning is not a piece of equipment," and quoted a joke about "military intelligence" being an oxymoron.

No warning signs here any more than there were with the Fort Hood Shootings ... at least, none that the Military can consider

[HiTech RedNeck]

The editor of a leaks scandal sheet foams at the mouth at the US military... no, no motivation for evil acts here, none whatsoever...

So, a queer’s hissy-fit has placed our Soldiers and many others’ lives in jeapordy.

Sad but I’m not terribly surprised.

Since he most likely won’t face a firing squad for treason, hopefully a few decades in Leavenworth will help him to understand the true meaning of the word ‘despondent’.

"military intelligence" being an oxymoron

Another Joe Stack who picked up his worldview from random TV cliches.

There’s a reason that homosexuality used to be a disqualifier for a security clearance.

There’s a reason that homosexuality used to be a disqualifier for a security clearance.

Indeed, and there's also a reason why homosexuality used to be clinically defined as a mental disorder.....changed in recent years not due to any research or new physiological findings but entirely due to political pressure.

I'm guessing that if an honest tally were to be made of the number of people who have needlessly died as a result of the Left's efforts to change fantasy into reality that it would be utterly breathtaking.  Factor in the wars fought due to Leftist aggression and the numbers would paint an accurate picture of the worst plague ever visited upon Mankind.

Are you telling me that some half American weenie buck private had access to 91,000+ pages of confidential OBAMA Defense Department secrets? Woew... Who's running that place?

[RedHeeler]

Yep, the FBI was founded on that premise, by a cross dressing liberal homosexual maniac. As every other likely sin, there are no holds barred in intel, much less life & war.

[BunnySlippers]

I thought the same. Next he'll be railing about "jumbo shrimp".

[NoLibZone]

He must have been raised as a Catholic.

or Muslim

Foreign religions will kill the US.

[rpierce]

Amen to that. I met a whole lot of scary-intelligent people in and during my MI days.

From the story:

Mr Manning, who is openly homosexual, began his gloomy postings on January 12, saying: "Bradley Manning didn't want this fight. Too much to lose, too fast."

(snip)

Five days later he said he was "livid" after being "lectured by ex-boyfriend", then later the same day said he was "not a piece of equipment" and was "beyond frustrated with people and society at large".

Funny how this is the first I've read that this traitorous steaming pantload is "openly homosexual". Naturally, it's in the British press. I guess this little tidbit wasn't important enough for America's Democrat "mainstream" newsrooms to report. (In fact, I'm positive they actively spiked that little piece of information.)

"Openly homosexual" - - who would've guessed?

Yeah, let's repeal "Don't ask, don't tell..."
...and replace it with, "Seek and kick out immediately."

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

If this guy is gay that doesn’t disqualify him from being honorably shot.

[Loud Mime]

Regardless of reason/excuse/perversion/psychosis
He’s still a traitor.

[LanaTurnerOverdrive]

This guy is not the story. The real story is: Why didn’t the Obama Whitehouse, DOJ, Pentagon, NSA, etc. lift a finger to stop the release of these papers?

"There’s a reason that homosexuality used to be a disqualifier for a security clearance." There was a time when you could go to the military shrink and announce your homosexuality and you could get out of the military with a quiet honorable discharge, psych code. It didn't really affect future employment. Back then it would affect your being able to get a service or government job.

I will say what many are quietly thinking, gays don't belong in the military. This don't ask, don't tell was the camel getting his nose under the tent.

You worship Wakan Tanka then?

Or maybe Quetzalcoatl? Or one of those equally-indigenous-to-the-Americas Inca cults?

Good luck with those. They may be ludicrous pagan deities, but, hey, we wouldn’t want to put home-grown American Gods out of work, would we?

[shibumi]

So who are these quiet thinkers?

I’m pretty vocal about it myself.

[jonrick46]

Good for you! Keep it up!
