Think about that one ~ greatest war in history, he's in the German Army, deaths right and left, nothing but promotions all the way to the top every day and this guy NEVER GOT PROMOTED.
True enough, he was busy shipping Jews to camps but others who did the same job got promoted anyway.
Manning and Waldheim will probably get the same cell in the same circle of Hell.
Now, about that book by George Bush ~ that may be the only one he's allowed to have in the cell with him all the time.
I’d like to know how a PFC with seven years’ service (that in itself is weird) had access to highly classified documents. Who the hell was his CO ?
People above Manning have to be involved
IIRC, PFC Manning wasn't complying with DADT. He was EXTROVERTLY GAY. He did what he could to annoy his superiors and tried to embarrass them using the media.
THAT is likely the reason he stayed a PFC.
That was my initial suspicion - did he have a “lover?” Somebody had to give him access - no one is going to do that without a quid pro quo.
The other traitorous mole is still serving, IMHO.
He's also been out of the DADT closet for some time. He should have been discharged under the law. He wasn't. Had his commander followed the law, Wikileaks would have never received the classified materials.
His commander should be court-martialed for not upholding the law as he was sworn to do.
