US HERO BRADLEY MANNING



Bradley Manning testifying, sketched by Clark Stoeckley of the Bradley Manning Support Network


His testimony leads me to wonder:

what would have happened to Bradley Manning if we had a decent educational system that included affordable, preferably free, college education so that young people weren’t driven to the military for economic reasons? What could Bradley Manning have given the country if he had been able to pursue his interests and natural talents? Would Manning have joined the military if the country was honest about how the US Empire operates around the world?


But, that was not to be.  The country failed Bradley Manning.


I hope we do not fail him again.


Manning made it clear last Thursday that he leaked the documents to Wikileaks because he saw serious problems in US foreign policy. Problems which are as serious as they can be: war crimes, criminal behavior at the highest levels up to Secretary of State Clinton, unethical behavior and bullying of other nations.
