M8, I'm fairly sure you don't know that much about Manning's case.

Also, leaking to the press also isn't espionage, numb nuts.

>taking unapproved media devices into a secure room and unauthorized downloading thousands of files to release to non-US citizens not authorized to read the information

Hmm, let's see...

espionage - the practice of spying or of using spies to obtain political and military information.

spy - a person who secretly collects and reports information on the activities, movements, and plans of another

Also
>Manning was acquitted of aiding the enemy by knowingly giving out intelligence through indirect means, and was convicted of 19 of the 21 or 22 specified charges, including theft and six counts of espionage. The hearing on sentencing began on July 31, 2013.

So why don't you shut the fuck up m8 :^)

The intent was to expose war crimes, not spy on behalf of the foreign government.

The leaks were believed to be in the public interest

DoD admitted under oath that no military personnel or sources were harmed as a result of the leaks.


I think you need to break the conditioning

It's more based than you think. Now he has to foot the bill himself rather than you paying for it through your taxes.

This shit needs to stop. I've been serving in the USAF since I was 18 and I fully agree with Obama commuting Manning's sentence, but the idea that she leaked info to expose war crimes is absolute bullshit.

She made a mass dump of documents because she has serious psychological problems and wanted to get back at the Army.

That's not what she said in the logs.
