Bradley Manning's health deteriorating in jail, supporters say (WL)

...because having moral values isn't allowed in the military, right? Actually, it's not even tolerated at all in the USA. Thank you for being the prime example of the immorality, lies, hatred, destruction and fear which is in the heart of so many Americans.

Is that what you call Liberty? After all, who would want to question the government, that wouldn't be very patriotic, right? Certainly not disobey, if your country asks you to kill innocent civilians then it is your DUTY as an AMERICAN to KILL and DIE for your country. Never ever Question and Never ever Disobey.

Sheep.

If anyone is intersted it is mannings birthday today..

No sympathy for this little pissant who broke his oath, endangered the lives of his fellow service men and women, and did tremendous damage to this country.

I cant wait to see him strapped to a gurney.

how has he endangered the life of servicemen... It seems to me that he will save lifes by exposing the criminals that send there citizens into illegal wars... There has been no evidence supplied that he has endangered anyone yet. If any comes to light maybe you should complain to your government as they were offered the full range of the cables so they could edit out any sensitive names... They refused...
so whom has endangered the lifes of there fellow servicemen.. the usa government...

remember... deny ignorance... and a single truth can outwreigh a world of lies...

Here I will use one of the Wikileaks supporting comments that are plastered all over this website, Well all the cables haven't been released yet only like 1000 or so have been released. So I suppose there is still time for Mr. Mannings actions to put our servicemen in harms way. So deny that ignorance, no matter which way you try to flip it, Wikileaks & Manning are the ones at fault, the government wasn't the ones plastering it all over the net and the papers last time I checked. And I would personally have an ounce of respect for either of the two if they would just accept fault and full blame should things take a turn for the worse because of their actions.

People staying in their lane is what leads to people just "accepting" the wrong doing of others. Im not a professional social worker, but I can spot an abused child. Im not a triage nurse, but Im more than capable of identifying a head wound. And where psychology is concerned, I have some training in the matter.
And , on the point of me being childish, I fail to see how trying to point out the humanity of the situation (clearly lost on you) is childish.
Regarding seeing AK 47s , I dont know what video you watched, but there was nothing but photographic equipment being carried in that video. The men who died were journalists, and I fail to see how in the name of hell you can resolve what you saw into a bunch of terrorists unless you just assume that anyone not in US uniform is a target. Which wouldnt suprise me baring in mind how many Brits get whacked by US forces for no good reason.
Get the smell of cordite out of your nose so you can smell the BS you spew.

I wonder how many of the Americans who feel about America, the way I feel about Britain, are following this gentlemans story? How many can fail to be moved by Mannings selflessness, and his love for his fellow man. How many can fail to be struck by his dedication to the founding principles of his nation, and to the right of the common man to know when he is being lied to for nefarious purposes, by his own government no less?
Far more than ever before, have the Patriots a cause to rally behind. If this man dies in jail, I wonder what the response will be from those who know that this man is a hero not a traitor?

It is sad the level of negative reaction this man gets...He motives were alturistic and we could all learn from him.. His bravery is comendalbe and really puts people and governments to shame..
and i hope he does not die in jail.. it would be a waste of a good life...

Oh really! Please elaborate on all the "lies" and "deceptions" that Wikileaks has exposed? I am just dying to read all about it.

Sheep.

You tak an oath YOU HONOR IT. If Manning was upset because he saw some kind of conduct he didnt agree with there are the proper channels for that, instead he was pissed because of some percieved slight and downloaded nearly every classified document he could get his hands on. Thats not "honor" or "bravery", he was being a whiney little sh!t who wanted to lash out.

I hope he cries when they gas his sorry a$$.

Oaths, ritualism, fanaticism. Smells just like radical islam to me.... Oh wait you were talking about the military ! Sorry its easy to get the two confused. Its the muddy waters of immorality that confuse us poor civilians. We only get to kill in self defense you see. We arent quite familiar with the idea of soldiers just being paid to indiscriminately murder defenseless non combatants, accidentaly blow up hostages with grenades, and generaly be really crappy ambassadors for thier nations.

So, if someone is harmed, it's still not Manning's fault? Give me a break!

reply to post by jerico65

OK, Sportsfan, just how much combat have you seen? I mean, not counting your score in COD? I know an AK when I see one, simply because I've had them fired at me. Photographic equipment? Sure, the journalists were probably carrying some, but their buddies had AKs.

Did you read the after action report? You know, the one where troops found RPGs on the ground after the helicopter attack??

Since you've never been in combat, what's your frame of reference? I see it time and time again on ATS; posters spouting off on the military and combat, yet they have never been in the service, or a single nanosecond of combat. Yet, everyone is suppose to take their word on what goes on, and anyone with combat experience is lying or "spewing BS".
