What are Americans really interested in? If you really did take an oath in the military then you surely forgot it the minute you got in battle! You swear to uphold the US Constitution and by the way if you ever read it there isn’t anything there about leaking information is treason! Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.
Even Daniel Ellsberg who leaked the Pentagon Papers knew this country couldn’t arrest him for that! All Manning did was obey his moral conscience, and hopefully he won’t be made an example of to other’s who TELL THE TRUTH about murderers!
The gall to say he should have asked for a less ‘morally’ challenging duty would have done nothing to stop his conscience from obeying God, rather than MAN.

Manning took an oath to protect America, and its interests. I am a former military person, and I took the oath also. If he couldn’t handle seeing those documents, than he should have requested to be taken away from those responsibilities, and given something less morally challenging duties to perform. I do not think this Manning is a bad human, but it seems he had more of a motive to humiliate the military, and our Government, than protect it from harm that terrorist countries want to inflict on us.

Good luck, and may your decisions be tried by law, and not emotion.
