Thread Name: BS: Bradley Manning gets 35 years sentence
Subject: RE: BS: Bradley Manning gets 35 years sentence
I am about to watch (as much as I can of) the link.
However, Manning was guilty as charged and suffered the consequences of his actions. Was he right to do what he did. Hell yeah! Was it right that he was given 35 years? Unfortunately, yes. Can a public outcry change things... you do the math. Sucks? Yeah. But, an oath is an oath and duty bound is duty bound... morals be damned. He swore to that oath, he pays. Right or wrong, he pays.
I salute you, Mr. Manning! You are a hero in my books for doing the right thing. Bless you.
