Manning is facing the possibility of 136 years in prison.

Thanks rocco, I am not sure where I stand on this, because he did in the end betray the oath when joining the forces. I do think though that 135 years is a little harsh as he supposedly gave no information away that could harm troops and lives directly. The sad fact is he is still Guilty.
Be well Ian

Of what? Exposing faults made by the military?

And I too am glad to be back here in the good company, and hope everybody turns up :-))

thir, nice to see that you and Leo9 are still around. In answer, He took the oath and signed the American equivalent of the official secrets act. Sorry, but guilty as charged.

Be well Ian
