What I don't understand is that people on this forum consider Manning a traitor that needs to be killed, or whatever, or that she isn't a hero for exposing a dark underside of America's military, and in general, America.
But, many of these same people on this forum also consider Julian Assange a hero for doing the exact same thing on a bigger level.
Why does one person get special treatment, yet the other is treated like a pariah for the same exact actions?
I’m assuming you are referring to the gender reassignment portion of the story.
I, however, am very curious as to how she got a 35 year prison sentence for releasing classified Army information reduced to 6 years by request to President Obama.
You meant traitor right? Its not like he was a whistleblower. He just disclosed a ton of classified documents without any regard of their context. Being transgender shouldnt exclude you from treason.
While I believe what she did was good. The way she did it may of comprised the army and gotten people killed. If she did what snowden did it would be a different story.
