Imagine how things might have turned out differently for Bradley Manning if he had a day or two to get out before his arrest.

Imagine how things might have turned out differently for Bradley Manning if he had a day or two to get out before his arrest.
- olympus 13y agoManning was a PFC in the Army. He wouldn't have been able to afford fleeing to Hong Kong or Moscow making less than $30,000 per year. He would have had a much more difficult time evading arrest.
- jlgreco 13y agoHow much money could such a fleeing really take? I mean, 30k isn't much at all, but would he even have been paying for rent or food while enlisted? If he managed to save up a few thousand for a few plane tickets and maybe a few days in a hotel on his own wallet, then that would be enough. I don't think a few thousand is a particularly unreasonable ask.
