Ethan McCord and Bradley Manning are heros in a shameful war that we should not be waging. Thank you Ethan, for sharing this with us.

On the day that the US officially leaves Iraq I came across this video and learn about Bradley Manning. What a disgrace. Why has nothing been done about those in helicopter based on the transcript of there actions? George W. Bush and Dick Chaney should be charged and in jail rather than PFC Manning.

thank you for giving us your view of what happened on that day. I am a VietNam vet and come from a long line of war vets. I wont allow my children to serve in the military. Until we can be honest and acknowledge the mistakes we make in war we will only make enemies of those we are told we are fighting for. I am ashamed ! It is a part of the code of military justice that we do not follow illigal orders. Had Bradley or Ethan gone through chain of command this story would have been surpressed.

Thank you, Ethan, for following your own conscience and speaking out on the truth of US crimes in Iraq, and for your support of Bradley Manning’s actions. You are both heroes to me.

We all know about the appalling things that take place in the military. Quit making him suffer for your lack of ethics and morality. If you can’t find a way to win a war without hiding the way you do it, then do it openly and deal with the repercussions of those who you want to think of you as heroes.
