Only in America can you betray your country, go to prison, get sex reassignment surgery PAID FOR BY THE TAX PAYERS HE BETRAYED, get released from prison early by a the worst POTUS in American history AND maintain his military pay and benefits after being released from prison.

You keep saying "betrayed." What do you consider what those marines at Haditha did, what these helicopter gunship pilots did at Baghdad, what those guards did at Abu Graib? Did they also betray their country, or were they just soldiers doing their job? Because their job isn't torture, their job isn't murder. Those are the guys who really betrayed their country, not Chelsea Manning who revealed these crimes that would have otherwise been conveniently swept under the rug.
Yes he betrayed and I will keep saying this.. what don't you understand about the act of committing treason? He leaked top secret information putting the country at risk and he is getting full benefits?.. that's so laughable..
I'm not saying what you mentioned above was right from others!! Far from it... but there is more than just those documents he released.. thousands of documents.. you are so focus on one subject and not grasping the whole picture....
I seen with my very own eyes how shit was like in the middle east. It's rough and shit I can never erase in my subconscious! This fucking private had no right... Full benefits no dishonorable discharge and yet we have thousands of Vets homeless
The system is fucked
She got sentenced and spent time in prison. She didn't get pardoned, she just got her sentence commuted. I think that choice acknowledges what you are saying, plus acknowledging the whole lot of good that hopefully came out of the revelations that she made. Again, she did her time and got her sentence commuted. Time to move on and let her live her life. I will still say that overall, the good she did outweighed the bad. Too bad war criminals like Cheney and W are millionaires, the superiors at Abu Graib didn't spend a second in prison and a whole lot of war criminals got off scot free. Those are the guys who sold the country down the road and did incalculable damage.
I get what your saying Scrum..Abu Graib was a big hiccup..lets convict and court martial the soldiers and just demote the commanding officer...
Like I said.. it's the system
