Going through her backstory, it's pretty clear that Manning's a person who's suffered quite a lot, and who definitely did not fit in, wherever they went. Social isolation, a long history of bullying, unstable family life, and simply being the last kind of person that would do well in the army, given the, uh, work culture you get there. They only managed to find a community on online message boards, and the tech scene, which lead then to wikileaks.

More than an act of protest, of cruelties viewed, I suspect the leaks were done for very personal reasons. Namely, anger at a society that she had been victimized by.

its a bit different when its resist the us government and potentially die a stupid death, or go back to your big macs and iphones vs resist a foreign invader and potentially die or go back to bread lines and crushing poverty

if a bunch of middle eastern rednecks managed to give the most powerful military ever known some problems, im sure our local stock could give some chinese conscripts a run for their money

pretty sure our chinese/russian overlords wont give a gently caress about winning our hearts and minds

actually, you should abduct a cop, put him in plainclothes and blackface, and then call the cops when he wakes up and tries to beat your rear end

They're both good officers in an underfunded and unappreciated department. I share a gym with the entire department so I get to meet quite a few people.

Better question: Which of the three cops do you know in this scenario?

A: The cop who was shot.
B: The cop who shot a dude.
C: The cop who identified A as a cop before B shot A.

If only that off-duty cop had his gun on him, this would not have happened.

The only thing that stops a bad cop with a gun is a good cop with a gun. 1

Generally people arrive at that conclusion after their mother dies and they're sentenced to death for randomly killing an Arab, and that last bit probably isn't going to happen in the current political climate.

Yeah well I didn't earn it. I was a loving O3 at 24. Time in service baby. My only contribution to the army besides donating to the Vaporize Browns Kickstarter Stretch Goal was not loving with enlisted when I could avoid it. They didn't argue when I dropped my refrad.

I only made it to E-5 because 35N points were at the bare minimum and major command-level company boards promote you for showing up. :hfive:

fister points were at like 150 when i was in. when i was at WLC i found out just what type of NCO you get when you have points at 150.

Had a guy at WLC fail out on drill and ceremony. I wish I was kidding.
