This is going to be very interesting. I do wish her luck.
"Manning’s opponent in the Democratic Party primary is one of the most standard, banal, typical, privileged and mediocre politicians in the U.S. Congress: Benjamin Cardin, a 74-year-old white, straight man who is seeking his third six-year Senate term. Cardin’s decades-long career as a politician from the start has been steeped in unearned privilege: he first won elective office back in 1966, when his uncle, Maurice Cardin, gave up his seat in order to bequeath it to his nephew Benjamin. With this dynastic privilege as his base, he has spent the last 50 years climbing the political ladder in Maryland."

On July 30, 2013, Judge Lind issued her findings regarding the charges. Bradley Manning was acquitted of aiding the enemy by knowingly giving out intelligence through indirect means, and was convicted of 19 of the 21 or 22 specified charges, including theft and six counts of espionage. Is this the kind of person we want in the Senate. I don't live in Connecticut but if I did I would launch my own campaign to defeat him/her/it You can put lipstick on a traitor but he's still a traitor. Bradley/Chelsea Manning is still a traitor.

But the military is NOT a democracy. When we join we agree to give up some of our rights while serving. She obviously doesn’t understand service before self. She should have gotten out then written a book.

SSG Diane R. - I do not remember the specific number of documents Manning released. I believe it was in the 100's of thousands. Do you believe there was a qualitative analysis done by Manning. Did he (at the time, he) make any effort to ensure what was released was for some greater good, or was he an unhappy soldier, lashing out; with no concern or regard for the price that others might pay for his temper tantrum.
Of the two houses, the Senate is supposed to be the slower more deliberative body.

I say to myself sometimes, "If I was at Kent State, would I have fired?". May each of us never have to be given that order and look ourselves in the mirror, knowing we did the wrong thing. I don't know if Manning did the right thing or not. I guess we will have to wait another decade for hindsight to decide.

Why on earth would you wish him luck, knowing his history? As usual (and this isn't aimed at you SSgt), extremist liberals think he's entitled to the position simply because he's trans.

Considering that without the Pardon from BHO, He/she would still be in Prison... I don't think we need any More Career Criminal Politicians in DC ... we cant get rid of the ones there... and the last thing we need is a convicted Criminal in congress ... especially one who can't be trusted with Classified materials...

SSG Diane R. - Actually in this case it is a moot technicality. Most individuals that support this farce believe that the commutation (which is a form of clemency, just as a pardon is a form of it) is the same as an exonaration which actually equates quite well with what a pardon actually is compared to the commutation that was actually given. So to those individuals - Commutation equals (=) Exonarations equals (=) Pardon. It is as simple as that.

SSG Robert Webster - When it comes to the law, is't NOT a moot technicality and it DOES matter, regardless of what other people believe.
His sentence was commuted. He was not pardoned. If John Q. Public can't take the time to figure out the difference, then that is a separate problem indicative of the relative willful ignorance of such people.

CPO Glenn Moss - It is a moot technicality since it does not keep that individual from running or actually holding public office at the federal level. And considering that if this individual were to be elected that the only thing that could keep them from taking that office would be Congress (whom has let other convicted criminals take their office), which if past actions are any indicator would not be a bar. So it is a moot point. It is also a moot point to most of the 'uninformed' citizenry, since they do not know the difference in the types of clemency as I stated. The saddest part of that misunderstanding - they do not know the difference between exoneration and clemency.
