If they let queers in the US military, they should not be able to use it as a defense, when they fug up. I hope they shoot this traitor queer bait 48 hours after conviction.

He also posted on a social network, "Bradley Manning doesn't want this war". Then why did you join the US Army, in a time of war, nimrod? Its not like we conscript people.

I think I may join the fire department, but I dont want to put out any fires. Nah, or see any horrible crashes.

Perhaps you should read the FAQ & Rules regarding Acceptable Language:

You are skating on thin ice with your comments and I should not be reading bad post reports, especially so near to the festive period.

I thank you in advance for your cooperation.

I smell a traitor.

No matter his intentions or means he was trusted with a job. And betrayed the confidences of that job. Oh such a hero! *swoon*

Go on, paint him as a freedom fighter, but He is just a military version of Kim Kardashian.
Someone who is seen as a hero, but is really a detriment in the long run.

Hung by the neck until dead, dead, dead!

I don't have to have been present, to know that Bradley Manning, said the following, out loud, with his right hand raised, swearing to this oath:

Quote:
"I, Bradley manning, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."
This started his military service. As a military member, he is subject to the Uniformed Code of Military Justice. Futhermore, as a member of the United States Military, you do not have the same civil rights afforded to you as a civilian, because while under contract, and under your oath, you are, for all intents and purposes, United States Government PROPERTY. In his case, he is a malfunctioning piece of property.

I believe Article 106a applies to Manning. Violation of this article, as I understand it, is a capitol offense.

If one cannot quite literally "sign your life away", one should not enlist.

Well i'm as straight as they come and I also take great offense to his use of gutter slang as well as your implication that one has to be gay for one to take offense.

For the record, Mannings sexual orientation has absolutely nothing to do with his treason. Gays are just as patriotic as anyone else. Never forget that.

Since his guilt is not an issue in this case Mannings lawyers are desperately casting about for something, anything to possibly mitigate the crime.

But let's not make this an excuse to bash gay people.

Can you sell Wiki as an entity fitting that ?

You sound the same as Zeewolf when he complained that the site was infested with jews.

Apologies for the language. It was inappropriate.

No more posting for me on Sunday after I come home from the game two sheets past Tuesday.

I am glad someone understands, and is not all

"eff the government, mannnnnn!"

An oath is an oath, it is like the promise you make to your wife to be faithful.

Manning disrespected all serving troops with his negative attention. There is a standard to uphold.


Someone please defend this scum and keep your morality as a human being? Or is breaking a sworn oath taken much more lightly in todays military? Not according to my family. I got a Marine cousin who wants 20 seconds alone with Manning.

I want a minute, but I am not trained like my cuz.

Did anyone notice that the published US action (helicopter shooting) was a violation of international and own domestic law.
What does the US population plan to do about that ?

And this oath clearly states to defend the constitution also against domestic enemies. If a government, the military or one of all those secret services acts this way (as it was not only shown in THIS video), hiding it away from the public and violating its own laws, what do you think the people should do ?
Defend the constitution - right. It is not about right or wrong, my country.

So i take it that the german soldiers and SS was perfectly alright and honourable. They had sworn THEIR oath to someone else.

I watched a video of Obama on the evening news in which he clearly states that Manning is guilty of breaking the law, so if Obama as C in C is ultimately in charge of the court trying this guy, how can he receive a fair trial?
This is an intersting question. The same sort of situation occurred in the criminal trial of Charles Manson: in August, 1974, then President Richard Nixon was asked about Manson and he declared he believed Manson was guilty. A big uproar resulted; the Manson defense team was trying to get the case thrown out due to contamination of the potential jury pool due to Nixon's comments;; members of the congress, on both sides of the aisle condemned the gaffe; the media had a field day and the public was outraged; the president's spokesman, in what I belive was the first use of the phrase "What the President meant to say.." (later to be used quite often by Reagan and both Bush I & Bush II) tried to defuse the situation. The final upshot was the trial judge refused the defense motions. I don't think this will happen here, though: this case is well below the public radar and there is very little interest by the public in the media coverage...
