I didn't know he was trans until like a week ago.

I wouldn’t mind going to prison for the rest of my life, or being executed so much, if it wasn’t for the possibility of having pictures of me plastered all over the world press as a boy.

Didn't know he felt so strongly about it.


But, for factual purposes, he is a man.

Bradley Manning is a true American hero. It completely boggles the mind that the savages that killed innocent people weren't investigated yet this guy goes to jail for trying to do the right thing. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong about these soldiers not being investigated.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, I'm barely if at all following the case, but did Manning not release other military secrets and classified information that did not pertain to the killing of innocent civilians in Iraq?

Is this one of those situations where he got jail time with half? Meaning he got sentenced to 35 years, but he will be out at 17 years? Or is this 35 solid?

I think it's 35+ solid.

He can be out in 8 years.

Eligible for parole after serving one third of his sentence. With his time already served that would be 8 years.
