Manning is ahead of his time.

That said, as a 1964 U.S. Army length of service military retiree who served this deceitful,thankless and unforgiving nation during and over three major engagements, in combat, and a dozen minor conflagrations on the low draft-era pay and non-existent allowances only to be BETRAYED along with 432,000 cohorts on future retired pay, and loss of our "earned" life-time health care this nation's military is a farce. Release Pfc Manning today.

They have llegally invaded soverign countries without impunity. When you read the pitful local home town news itme about American individuals who have died over there they are all "Heroes, even though involved in these henious crimes. What a phony nation we have become.

As a 1964 U.S. Army length of service miltary retiree I saw many of today's ills in the making. Trouble is in getting a valid report of what our wars are really doing. Much of he blame mustbe placed with the news media which down plays our vicious actions in other parts of the world. In the mean time the industrial sector has made money. This with the total knowledge and collusion of the legislative branch.

When you wrote "And Wall Street, its parasitic minions and the MIC will turn a tidy profit in the process." By using the acronym "MIC" America is currently using a great big misnomer. Eisenhower originally wrote in his Farewell Speach "military/Industrial/legislative complex." Even he capitulated at the last minute and omitted "legislative' when he was told by his staff "if you use that word you will be ridden out of Washington on a rail inspite of your military and presidetial success." Succeeding coments appear hopefu.

A wonderful article. As a 1964 U.S. Army length of service military retiree I saw many of these things in the making. The military, from both a material and personnel stand point, will eventually bring about the destruction of this nation.

As one who spent over 20 years in the active military ending in 1964 I share your disappointments with what this nation is led to believe vs actual end results. Carry on, Ray.
