Bradley Manning
Chelsea Elizabeth Manning (born Bradley Edward Manning) is a former United States Army soldier who was convicted by a court-martial in July 2013, of violations of the Espionage Act and other offenses, after disclosing to WikiLeaks nearly 750,000 classified, or unclassified but sensitive, military and diplomatic documents. Manning was sentenced to 35 years confinement in August 2013, but was later released on May 17, 2017 under an ill-advised commutation by President Obama.
Well, what can we say about little Bradley Manning? This is a person that should have never been in a position of trust much less in the US Military. His behavior and mental stability were giant red flags from day one, in fact even before the military. He is yet another person our intelligence agencies or military gave a pass to because of a need for a skill they had.
Looking at this list, I think we would be better served to find a patriot and teach them what they need instead of finding a skilled person and close our eyes to their problems. That is a hard lesson, and we seem to repeat the mistakes of the past over and over.
As a side note, if you are in the dating market, do not select anyone on Match.com named Chelsea that has a strong jaw line, they may be a traitor.
