Sounds like she was a sane person in an insane environment

  I was in the military (not in the States), and the environment was similar. It is what it is. At least in the States is not compulsory, I had no choice.

  the military's duty is to prepare its soldiers for war, which isn't a particularly "sane environment". It seems logical to break down a recruit's sense of self and rebuild it in a manner that emphasizes the interests of the group over the individual. I'm shocked that the Army let someone with this kind of "me first" syndrome rise up the ranks high enough to be near sensitive material. My other thoughts on the case are that her 37 year sentence was draconian, and the solitary and mind-tricks they played on her in prison were cruel and unusual. And that overall we are better off having the collateral murder video so the war can be seen for what it is. Not sure if there was any value in leaking the diplomatic cables, though.
