I would like to look at this through the lens of what exactly he leaked, and how it impacted the WHs ability to contain DS (i am assuming much like Snowden).
Not a new article, yet good info I hadn’t remembered hearing about.. > Obama took 28 years off the sentence of a soldier who stole and then released through WikiLeaks almost half a million military reports plus another quarter-million State Department documents.
Obama considered Manning’s 35-year sentence excessive. On the contrary. It was lenient. Manning could have been — and in previous ages, might well have been — hanged for such treason. Now she walks after seven years.
Agreed. This is a poor take. He exposed war crimes the pentagonwas covering up. They also sent it to wikileaks / Julian assange, who tends to release info responsibly. Yet assange is the one that gets imprisoned indefinitely.

Ummm, "now (s)he walks after 7 years." The miasma is deep in this one.
Manning is a hero. Look at what he leaked.

Yeah, but "she" was so cute, he couldn't resist. You know Hussein!
Chelsea Manning exposed the evils perpetuated by the Bush Administration and the Deep State. How is he/she a traitor?
