I'm talking about the general US guy I see posting here. There are individuals to whom my statements do indeed not apply. There'll always be.

I'm not defending the actions of our government, but you mistakenly think it's OK to NOT do what you promised to do because you don't agree with it.

How is this any different than the doctor who was recently courtmartialed because he refused to deploy, because he didn't agree that the president wasn't legally elected ?

This Manning fellow shared classified material with a foreign national because he felt it was his duty to NOT do his duty. He might as well shared plans for our nuclear missles because he feels it's wrong to be able to kill on such a large scale.
