It must be very hard for you to live with so much anger and vitriol toward people you’ve never met, and with so much closed-mindedness. Many veterans who served this country honorably, including one of the soldiers who arrived on the scene in the video that was released as the “Collateral Murder” video, in which unarmed journalists and children were killed, support Bradley Manning. Your ignorance is depressing, and the idea that “Hippies and OWS Liberals” hate the US just showcases that ignorance. I was raised to support members of the armed forces even when I don’t support the wars they’re sent to fight (my father is a Vietnam veteran) and not to assume that someone is stupid, morally bankrupt, or worthless just because they don’t belong to the same political party as I do. It’s a shame no one taught you the same values, but it isn’t too late – go out and meet a wide array of people. You just might be surprised.

@Jeffrey: Your grammar, punctuation, and spelling was off, however, everyone understood you. I agree with you all the way.

@Brian: Your punctuation’s actually a little off as well. It was still clear enough to be understood. Everyone you know still hates you, but don’t worry; it has nothing to do with your ability to communicate thoughts or ideas. It’s because you’re a dick.

Is there any tv or livestream from Florida? Is this website going to go live minutes before the verdict?

Bradley Manning enlisted, believing he could help the Iraqi people. When he saw that captured Iraqis were tortured by the Iraqi military, he complained to his American superiors, saying that he couldn’t in good conscience hand over captured Iraqis. His American superiors told him to shut up and do his duty.

Mark,
When you cakm down and look at the actual picture of this country’s attempt to be a world leader in the spread of respect for democratic institutions of self government, It becomes very important for the citizens of underdeveloped third world countries to have a favorable impression of the United States government. Most of these citizens ONLY contact with the US is from our soldiers.
Unfortunately, their are too many instances instances of careless and arrogant hostile action that is unprovoked. Manning released proof of these excesses, that the military chain of command should have corrected at the time these incidents occurred. since that was not done, Manning exercised his patriotic duty to bring these provocative and gratuitous excesses to the attention of the Newsmedia and the political and military establishment.
This was terribly EMBARRASSING and in truth, has the potential to END THE MILITARY CAREERS of those in the chain of command that permitted these attacks on unarmed civilians to go unchecked. Those who are responsible for allowing this hostle and dangerous climate to thrive in their command are sadly trying to mount a last ditch stand by “blaming the Messenger”. Real patriots should be severely upset and come to the defense of the well meaning whistleblower who stood up for the best values of the American Military AND Character. Plese rethink your hasty post of last August.

Question: Was it PFC Manning’s duty to disobey a unlawful order?
