As far as swamp creatures go, Manning rates right up there with Hillary Clinton. Both swore allegiance to this Nation and pledged to carry out their duty honorably as they raised their hands before God. Only God knows what was in their soul that day, but the whole world is witness to their willful disregard of that sacred oath and it is only just that both should answer to God in front of a firing squad.
In November 2007, 19 year old Bradley Edward Manning failed basic training and was almost kicked out of the U.S. Army. Manning was a puny, effeminate homosexual who had enlisted at his dad's insistence. After being teased and picked on all through school he left home with his mom to try his luck with dad, but after threatening his stepmom with a knife, he got kicked out. Several lousy jobs he never held long later, he had wore out his welcome everywhere else and ended up back with dad, or tried to, anyway. The army was apparently a better choice than gay sex and sleeping in his pickup, but it looked like he was going to fail yet again.
In what is probably the most regrettable decision the army ever made, Manning restarted boot camp the following January.
Even in the swamp, scum floats on the top.
