Bradley Manning is probably going to spend the rest of his life in prison. He's only 25! Holy shit that's a long time. He intentionally and indiscriminately released thousands of classified documents in direct violation of his duties. What specific instances of corruption did he uncover that justify what he did? Look, he was clearly unhappy. From what I've read it sounds like he was lonely, confused, and unstable. But he was given significant responsibilities and he violated that trust in a _very_ serious and criminal way. If he was unhappy there are many, many other things he could have done than release those files. What I see is this thread is just a bunch of platitudes. Yeah! he stuck it to the man! But what did he actually achieve? All I see is a fucked up young man making a _huge_ mistake.
