The only public display of Bradley Manning should be a hanging corpse.
Funny, I have the same view about Lee.
Nobody died because of what Manning did.
Lots of people died because of what Lee did.

Twelve Memorials That Must Be Removed If Democrats Are Serious About Erasing RacismFDR knowingly put a Klansman on SCOTUS, when do we take down everything FDR?
Yet the government decided that he was not to be prosecuted.
Bradley Manning went to jail, Lee did not.

Now you are arguing legal technicalities, not moral ones.
Both Lee and Manning broke their oaths to defend the United States and obey the orders of their president. So by any objective standard,t hey were both traitors.

ISIS doesn't like any statues. They're equal opportunity statue destroyers.How does this differ from ISIS desecrating statues that they don't like?
I'm sure you've never watched Gods and Generals.
Does April come before May?"On Thursday, May 31, 1861, the Norfolk Argus reported, "On Monday the Federal troops marched into Hampton."

As always, seriously, without exception, you are wrong.
Yes, Lee led the Virginia army against Northern invaders. Virginia was invaded before Lee joined the war effort, and his loyalty was to Virginia first and foremost. If the Union army had taken a different path south, Lee would never have been involved in the Civil War.
Virginia was in illegal rebellion. His duty as an army officer was to serve the union, not his state.
Lee was a traitor. You don't give traitors a statue because they felt they were justified.
Why not a statue to the Rosenbergs? They felt that the US couldn't be trusted with a monopoly on nukes because we'd probably abuse it.
Why not a statue to Snowden? Or Chelsea Manning? They thought they were right?
Shit, why not put up statues to Benedict Arnold? He won the battle at Saratoga!
But celebrating and glorifying in statue those who led the fight to preserve and extend slavery defines the South.Slavery does not define what America is.
What illegal rebellion in Virginia?
There was no law against secession in 1861.
The statues desecrated by ISIS, whatever they were, weren't put up by ISIS; the democratically elected authority decided the statue's fate; the statue was put in storage. Three differences at least that I can see.How does this differ from ISIS desecrating statues that they don't like?

Sorry, when Virginia joined the union, it agreed not to secede...
Lee was a traitor. deal with it.
So then Trump should have the leaders of the California secessionist movement executed for treason.
FDR also wouldn't agree to outlaw hanging blacks.FDR knowingly put a Klansman on SCOTUS, when do we take down everything FDR?
By glorifying those who led the wrong?A nations greatest accomplishments are always the stories of those who fought to right a wrong and succeeded. And these moments should never be forgot.
