Our missions are of the utmost in secrecy and are generally classified Top-Secret. Is the "Commander-in-Chief" (I would spit here if I said this in person) telling me that a Navy intelligence officer could tell the world where my ship goes without fear of being tried for treason?<br /><br />This makes me absolutely sick and nauseated. The military will definitely be losing me at the end of my current enlistment. The "Commander-in-Chief" has now proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that he has no concept of the Navy's Motto: "Honor, Courage, and Commitment."<br /><br />He doesn't have the slightest concept of what HONOR is. A boy (Manning) goes directly against his chain of command by having a homosexual lover WHILE ENLISTED without any punishment.<br /><br />The boy (Obama) lacks the COURAGE to send the other boy (Manning) to the firing squad for treason and Article 92 (Failure to obey a lawful order) of the UCMJ.<br /><br />The boy (Obama) lacks the COMMITMENT to set an example for all other potential saboteurs by dealing with Manning correctly. Manning lacks COMMITMENT for breaking his country's most sacred trust in the distribution of these documents.<br /><br />I could go on at length, but I hope everyone understands what I am seeing as an active duty member of the submarine force.<br /><br />Death to all who commit treason. If we do not follow that simple order we shall fall quicker than Rome did in its weakest moments.Zamirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13748706830771259697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-70071055741279710702010-12-30T21:57:33.197-08:002010-12-30T21:57:33.197-08:00I was a lowly A/1C, three striper, but I held a To...I was a lowly A/1C, three striper, but I held a Top Secret clearance, and for about a year (I was 20 years old at the time) "ran" a Top Secret vault, checking Top Secret documents out, and then back in, answering directly to a major. I didn't peruse those documents, as I had no need to know what data those documents held. Them as could were encouraged to do, back in the mid-1950s in SAC, however low their rank. Mostly, those who checked out the documents were Lt. Colonels or better.<br /><br />This loser, Manning, is a traitor to his country, and should be treated as such.LarryOldtimerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10811006386363706079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-65769756086005945712010-12-30T13:36:37.228-08:002010-12-30T13:36:37.228-08:00@BMiller.

In my experience it is always best to remain open-minded, and not form opinions until many of the facts have had a chance to surface. So right now I could care less about the things you discuss in your article(about manning). But what I am concerned about is your total lack to address the content of what PFC Manning had released to WikiLeaks. It is disturbing to me to see so-called Americans overlooking what PFC Manning helped bring to light. Corruption in America's government is the big picture here, not a homosexual. The way the soldiers involved in the "Collateral Murder" video leak reacted to their actions in that situation are by no means human. How is it you are able to ignore that and shift your focus to PFC Manning? Clearly the contents of that leak should be the focal point in this abstract to anyone with a sense of right and wrong. Again I am, at the moment, neutral on what PFC Manning did but I can't ignore what he leaked.BMillerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00390304226047478343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-68084067297841635192010-12-30T07:09:39.129-08:002010-12-30T07:09:39.129-08:00Alan,

You can't even imagine how sick and tired I am of this. The man bragged about his actions and in my book should be executed for treason, pure and simple. He took and oath to this country and I for one could care less if he rots forever. As far as I'm concerned, traitors have no rights.<br /><br />As this man was known for his feelings as you state in your article, how was he even still in the service? I saw a video with R.Lee. Emery in which this proud person warns this president is leading this country to Marxist Socialism, something I trely believe. In this case, we have a soldier bragging about his treason and this President and for that matter the military are dragging their heels as to trying this guy. I assume Holder has weighed in on this also? <br /><br />My main question here though is shouldn't this be a military court matter in the end? As such, Are the President or the Justice Dept. delaying the function of the Military justice system? It would seem to me this man should have already been tried and if nothing else be doing hard labor for life.joetotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16614909072614184465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-77914875764821032442010-12-30T01:54:59.093-08:002010-12-30T01:54:59.093-08:00@Alan: Great minds think alike!
I said the same ...@Alan: Great minds think alike! <br /><br />I said the same things on my blog about Manning several weeks ago.<br /><br />As former member of the U.S. Army Security Agency (USASA) and the Intelligence & Security Command (USAINSCOM), it still blows my mind that a lowly PFC (E-3) was allowed access to such highly classified information that in my day (1966 to 1987) would have been reserved for senior officers.<br /><br />Also, in my Intelligence days homosexuals were not even allowed in the U.S. Army and if "outed" were discharged immediately: The security people at G-2 considered gays mentally unstable individuals who were perfect targets of blackmail by foreign intelligence agents.<br /><br />As I said in my article, "Manning is the poster boy for keeping homosexuals out of the military."Ronbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02767498198886077632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-81893305780237500252010-12-29T20:15:13.429-08:002010-12-29T20:15:13.429-08:00This is massive security failure, Alan, by the CIA...This is massive security failure, Alan, by the CIA, State Dept. and Defense Dept. It well illustrates the huge danger of storing any classified documents on any computer, and not limiting who can access classified data on a "need to know" basis.<br /><br />When I was that age, I was separating from the USAF. I worked in an intelligence squadron at SAC HQ. I have never divulged any of the intelligence data I was entrusted with, not even telling "war stories", nor would I ever do so.<br /><br />Did things way, way better back then. <br /><br />Of course, we knew the US had mortal enemies back then. When the USSR fell apart, it seems as if most thought that the US had no more mortal enemies. And that spies were a thing of the past.LarryOldtimerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10811006386363706079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-34202633646800280882010-12-29T19:52:58.325-08:002010-12-29T19:52:58.325-08:00I shudder to think what my father (42 years active...I shudder to think what my father (42 years active service, USAR) and my brother (currently serving in a combat area) think of this little idiot. <br /><br />And now the kid is whining because the blankets in the brig aren't soft enough.

Sadly, there are misinformed people that will say he is a victim. After reading this I can see all the more reasons that we should not have homosexuals in the military.
