Comments on: The Significance of the ‘Support Bradley Manning’ Campaign http://bradleymanning.org/commentary/significance-of-the-support-bradley-manning-campaign Exposing war crimes is not a crime! Tue, 04 Jun 2013 21:33:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: pete http://bradleymanning.org/commentary/significance-of-the-support-bradley-manning-campaign#comment-5512 pete Thu, 05 Aug 2010 13:38:00 +0000 http://bradleymanning.org/?p=4627#comment-5512 It is not surprising that the US congressman who wants to “kill” the whistleblower if found guilty of leaking so called military “secrets” is a Republican Mike Rogers. Here is a perfect example of a a government official being the judge and executioner of a man who tells the truth. Nazi Germany pales in comparison and exterminating someone who exposed the truth about the war is a war crime. If that is the way Americans hold their justice system then lets start with George W. Bush, his father, Dick Cheney and Rumsfeld who invaded Iraq and Afghanistan because there are plenty of nooses to go around for all of them.

Shocking!!! I am not a proponate of killing anyone…BUT if anyone should be executed it should be the soldiers in the helicopters who shot the innocent civilians for no reason and wounded 2 small children and then said it was the parents fault for bringing their children into a battle zone. Those soldiers are nothing more than grievious murderers. And the U.S. government wants to cover it up? Hide the truth and the facts?? If President Obama does not step up and pull Bradley Manning up and out of this mountain of military rubble that he is buried under….and free him….then how can we trust President Obama if HE doesn’t stand up for the TRUTH, and instead chooses to be part of the cover up. Or maybe we have such a government that if Obama speaks out against the military, they will do away with him too. I wouldn’t put anything past them after seeing that video.

I am an agnostic but it is clear to see what is required of us….. and it is not to see how many people we can kill and then try to justify and find reasons for it. It would follow from that bankrupt view point that Manning is a man who has not been true to the calling of supporting his country in all it is doing: not working for god and country, freedom and the ammerican way of life and so forth.
I say “good for him!!!!”.. we should save him if we can but he is in the hands of those who are determined to make the world be “not good” as I see it… and that makes them be “not good” and blind!! He has made a great sacrifice… the greatest sacrifice.. he has given himself.

We are almost there now. These wars must end now, before any more of our brave young men coming back limbless to a VA that deserts them and a country that puts them in the poverty zone. The disabled soldiers are thrown to the wolves in this country and they deserve better. Wake up America, your being lied to and cheated out of yours and the future of your children-just follow the money and who is profiting from the two wars.

For the record I am not a right0winger, I am a Libertarian. But anyways, the rights applicable to civilian citizens of the United States do not always apply to servicemembers, especially when in uniform.

For example: Freedom of Speech, active duty member of the military are not allowed to make disparaging remarks about the President or Members of Congress…. The list goes on. This has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with the role of the military. I am not stating a political opinion, I am pointing out constitutional and military law to a group of people that are obviously oblivious to it.

I spent my life(17-38)wearing that uniform to protect many things. To be honest, I never fought for freedoms or the flag; that’s the truth. I fought for the kid to my left and to my right. It was ‘just us’ and we depended on each other with absolute trust. I believed that spending my youth trying to protect those unfortunate souls that cannot defend themselves was a worthy and honorable life. If you disagree with me, that is ‘your’ right. It will always be your right..
As far as your projection that I want to kill ‘anybody’ is way off. You chose to personally attack me for ‘my’ comments concerning a young soldier that has been indicted for crimes concerning national security, who is the aggressor here ‘backstabber’? My God, I am merely in disagreement with the theory of an ‘entire movement’ involving the support given by another group… Have I ‘earned’ that ‘right’ to speak, like you right?
Strange how my original comment was ‘removed instantly’ to make room for ‘your’ attack on ‘my’ comments; which noone was allowed to enjoy. Who is truly ‘censoring’ what we do or say? Your actions have made it clear; ‘oppose and be hammered’. Lighten up ‘backstabber’, That was NOT an attack on YOU… It was my ‘free speech’ that I was sharing with the world. The ‘world’, not ‘you’. Either way, we still need each other. Without the other, there is no argument to defend and learn from, right? My view on the soldier in question remains the same. Let’s let history be the ‘final’ judge to determine how the world views his actions. I truly hope your involvement with your side of this issue brings the results you desire. I, will continue my efforts. Good luck to you Sir/Ma’am. ‘Backstabber’ leaves that kinda open. I like my own name. Let’s ‘debate’ without another dismissed comment from me, and without you using my name as a rope to hang your disagreement. Play nice, remember? I look forward to your comments…”Fletcher”

However, I hope he doesn’t spend to long in prison for it.

The USA constitution calls for an “army” only to be raised for defense….. how does all of this fit in, unless we see as the entire world as “ours” and we want to protect ourselves from those that live there… madness… creation and maintaining of a world of “dog eat dog” “victory” “high body counts” and such.
I think we need to work at cleaning up our act.
