We wouldn't let someone with a bipolar disorder handle classified info, we should treat individuals with comparable disorders the same way.
What medical disorder did he have? Failure to participate in a military operation killing and jailing innocent Muslims he knew to be innocent?

US Citizens exposing goverment wrongdoing, while the military admits they have no evidence of anybody being harmed by it, is a good reason to kill them.

They are so patriotic!

A person with strong principle and personal fortitude would have never compromised the security of our troops and our country.
Personally, I believe anybody that thinks the goverment should kill people for "treason" when the goverment hasn't even charged "treason"...should themselves be killed.....but that's just me.

No, Manning was jailed long before we invaded Libya.

Exactly. Manning never had a disorder. The goverment does not claim that. His defense lawyers do not claim that.

That's you with your wild fantasies, hoping to killl a US soldier who you politically disagree with.

Manning is openly gay which is a clear sign of a mental disorder, it's also been reported that he's bipolar which does run hand in hand with homosexuality. I never said anything about wanting to kill Manning, he should clearly pay a price for the crimes he committed though. He's no longer a soldier, he's been dishonorably discharged and is being held for the crimes he committed.

Only in your wingnut fantasy world is homosexuality a "mental disorder". All the major medical associations clearly reject that term, and any other negative connetation associated with being gay. It's hard to see how you made it out of college.

Two soldiers in that "collateral damage" video released by wikileaks, where the USA military just slaughtered innocent civilians have come out and said they support Manning.

And we still have on this board these right wing key board warriors who never served a day in their life calling for Manning's execution.
