Save Bradley Manning is a page on Facebook that I found in conjunction with a news article concerning the court-martial of this piece of scum. Here's why this guy is going to burn in hell for what he did:
Code of Conduct:
(1) I am an American, fighting in the forces which guard my country and our way of life. I am prepared to give my life in their defense
(2) I will never surrender of my own free will. If in command, I will never
surrender the members of my command while they still have the means to
resist
(3) If I am captured, I will continue to resist by all means available. I will
make every effort to escape and aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy.
(4) If I become a prisoner of war, I will keep faith with my fellow prisoners.
I will give no information or take part in any action which might be
harmful to my comrades. If I am senior, I will take command. If not, I will
obey the lawful orders of those appointed over me, and will back them up in
every way
(5) When questioned, should I become a prisoner of war, I am required to give
only my name, rank, service number, and date of birth. I will evade answering
further questions to the utmost of my ability. I will make no oral or written
statements disloyal to my country and its allies or harmful to their cause.
(6) I will never forget that I am an American, fighting for freedom,
responsible for my actions, and dedicated to the principles which made my
country free. I will trust in my God and in the United States of America.
This guy was not captured. He was not a prisoner of war. He was not put to the question. He was not tortured. He willingly, of his own free will and choice, divulged information that put hundreds of thousands of US and allied troops in increased danger. He is a traitor to his country, and to the men and women of the armed forces with whom he served. He forgot that he was an American, fighting for freedom. He must now take responsibility for his actions. He must share David's fate when he sent Uriah to his death. He shall have no forgiveness in this life, nor in the life to come. He is damned by his own pride, having committed an unpardonable sin, and that is worse than anything any earthly power can do to him. He knew that his actions would aid the enemy, and therefore increase risk to US and allied forces. The blood of those who died as a result of his lapse in judgment is testimony against him.
