Hello
That claim is the truth. Only people who were in yer face were discharged. The military largely looked the other way on gays.
Well, what about the times the military didn't look the other way? Do you think it's fair for an officer to have his/her career ended simply because it's known that they are attracted to members of the same sex, in the absence of any other offenses? Gay soldiers had to keep stories of their significant others to themselves, whereas straight soldiers could talk freely about it. Do you think that's a fair situation?
Yeah, Manning got off easy. Sold secrets to Wiki and got only 37 years and gets a free sex change operation. He should have gotten the firing squad.
I'm not too involved in his case, but I know he's mainly known for leaking documents that shows US soldiers killing innocent civilians. I personally believe his intent was to show people that (at least a portion of) their tax dollars do go towards killing innocent people.
My question is, who pays the price for the tens of thousands of innocent civilians and US soldiers that have been killed in the past 10 years as a result of the US invading Iraq? You can give Manning the 35 years - sure, that's the law I suppose - but what about the folks who got us into this mess in the first place, misleading the US public with a false premise, resulting in well over 6k US deaths?
