Torn, some stuff needed to be brought to light. But went a little to far

To quote the fictional Col Sherman T. Potter, "horsefeathers!" Nothing Manning sent to Wikileaks "needed to be brought to light" and it was WAY more than "a little too far." The little Mary (or Chelsea) isn't entitled to any reconstructive surgery and should just be glad he's not in front of a firing squad. Hell, I'm pissed he didn't get a minimum of life without possibility of parole and frankly I think he should run a gauntlet of every serviceman who's pulled a tour overseas, every State Department wonk who had to deal with the diplomatic complications and embarrassments created, and everyone working for DoD who has had to deal with the additional restrictions on working on classified systems.

He wants reconstruction? I'll give him reconstruction with tools made by Eaton and Buck.

Oh, come on.

There is no wrong answer, and everyone gets a trophy. Haven't you all been paying attention?

It's for the children.

Calling BS, Ive watched several videos of things that happened , that would have never come out. (Apache pilots murdering people). I think Snowden was in the right also. I should have said went to far not just a little to far

I'm calling BS on you calling BS. You have no freaking clue on the damage he created or the way the data he leaked has been miscontrued and distorted. The same goes for Snowden. Both of those a-holes seriously damaged national security and deserve the same treatment Christopher Boyce got (and he should have spent twice as much time in the pen as he did).

National Security over personal freedom? Snowden told us what we already suspected. Manning leaked to much, but some of the things would not have been brought to light if he hadn't. How long before we have cameras everywhere spying on us? What the NSA was doing isn't legal(or shouldn't be). Everything being done is being done under the "Guise" of National Security. When does it stop?

Camaras are already everywhere. It isn't going to stop because people are far more concerned about the quality of their entertainment.

If Manning had carefully selected one or two documents/videos to release, for what he felt were the right reasons, it would have been a lot different. Still wrong and illegal, but maybe justifiable to some. He did not do that. Instead, it seems he just posted everything that crossed his desk to wikileaks without even reading, let alone understanding, it. It seems he did this with the sole intent of doing harm to the United States, and it was done recklessly with total disregard for the very real danger he was placing fellow Americans in. He needs to be executed for that. They can let him wear a dress for his execution if he wants.

I have to wonder if he thinks his time will be easier if he's a woman in the female detention area instead of the male gen pop area.

I hope bubba gets to him

Again, horsefeathers. Snowden told you want you wanted to hear and reinforced your preconceived notions that everyone in the government is working toward national tyranny. Both Manning and Snowden leaked and distorted things they didn't understand and caused serious harm to the nation. Nothing Manning "brought to light" needed to be made public. The things the IRS, DOJ, and FEC have been doing are far more dangerous and more applicable to your fears but people just jump at Manning's and Snowden's "I'm a whistleblower" bovine fecal matter.
