Of course that's just the opinion of the author of the article, but I tend to agree with it. We don't want people just willy-nilly sharing military secrets with the world, but when someone sees a wrong being done, they darn well ought to speak up. That's all Manning did and that's what any American that cares about truth and justice should of done!
Absolutely. When we see corruption or injustice we have an obligation to speak up and do something about it. It takes true courage to do what Manning did and he deserves praise for doing the right thing. Instead our corrupt government wishes to punish him, thus ensuring their power to continue to be corrupt as they want to be.
As for the sex reassignment stuff. That's weird and disturbing as far as I'm concerned. HOWEVER, that's a separate issue.
