Bradley Manning Statement After Verdict

[gilesfan]

define "not participated"

cause every single one of that list you posted is/was allies

and i would argue that they participated in some capacity

actions have consequences. my parents taught me that many moons ago and they didn't have to teach me that going and blowing up a country and killing family and friends gets people pissed off and want to do the same back

You should look at the list again then.

"BREAKING: Jury sentences U.S. soldier Robert Bales to life in prison without the possibility of parole for murder of 16 Afghan civilians"


obviously should have never been charged. just some collateral damage obviously

[goldfly]

You should look at the list again then.

Philippines
Kenya
Tanzania
Djerba
Limburg bombing
Bali
Morrocco
Turkey
Spain
Saudi
England

Yeah, you are claiming USA is allies with all these countries.

Different situations. There is a reason he was charged.

[thethe]

If the US didn't care about the death of civilians then why was that person charged at all? They way you guys make it seem the US Government should treat him as a hero.

[Metaphysicist]

Bradley Manning is the answer to the question "If Edward Snowden wanted to be considered a civil disobedient patriot, then he should come back and face his charges."

Manning has proven that our government has no place for whistle blowers and anyone who may expose corruption. After years of being tortured, he now faces 35 years in prison. Snowden is wise not to trust our government for a fair trial.

Why would Snowden be in a military court?

[goldfly]

Yeah, you are claiming USA is allies with all these countries.

do know who the USA is allies with?

cause everyone on that list is one in some way or another except maybe Djerba.

i mean, you did list a massacre that isn't a country and you listed a city that isn't a country though

[goldfly]

oh, he murdered people

like, what manning leaked and what i was talking about

not the bull**** term of "collateral damage"

glad we finally got to the same page now

You know what I was talking about but, you can't admit that you are wrong and US is not allies.

How about bombing a country bc of cartoons...... Yeah, great point there.

Not even close to what Manning leaked. That dude rolled up in a village and shot 16 random people. Manning leaked a video tape of a helicopter shooting up a suspected target.

You have to be trolling here if you don't see the difference between the 2 situations. I mean it's impossible to have a debate with someone who can't see the difference.

They will never admit it GF. Acknowledging that the radical Muslims attack others who don't bomb them completely destroys their whole stance. But to the rest of the world its obvious.

i am not sure what you position you fabricated in your mind on where i stand

cause these type of cases is exactly what i was talking about and yall got all up in arms about "i can't believe you would put soldiers on trial"

[goldfly]

wrong about what? know who and what countries are allies? i do know that

no country has bombed a country over cartoons. not sure what your great point is

[goldfly]

what stance is that?

explain what my stance is to me then

[thethe]

I think you have made your stance clear. I will let your words dictate that and not get into this game that you try and play all the time.

you keep proving you didn't actually read or watch the stuff he leaked

[weso1]

lol... speaking of fabricating positions in your own mind... When did I say soldiers shouldn't be put on trial? Of course they should. But only when appropriate. My argument is that they shouldn't be put on trial if they followed the rules of engagement when a mistake was made. And certainly not in cases of collateral damage. You have to be a fool to compare a soldier disobeying his command, breaking the rules of engagement and shooting up knowingly unarmed citizens to the video sturg posted.
