Some comments.
1. I do not take political commentary with emojis in it seriously. Who am I arguing with? a 13 year old girl?
2. Manning has nothing to contribute to the contemporary national security and political discussion. Why do we continue to react to the comments Manning makes? It makes us all dumber.
3. By reacting to anything Manning says or does, it gives it undue importance. This person has the relevance level of a Kardashian on her best day.

What Manning doesn't understand is that his cable traffic that was leaked out to WikiLeaks has caused irreparable damage to our allies and Friends. All the gossip at the embassies were discussing secretly got back to the countries. If you had a general or a member of Parliament that was anti-corruption and was thinking like the Americans think and having democracy and transparency, those people have now been discovered because of Manning's WikiLeaks. All the trash that we were talking about with other governments is now out in the open. Thailand for example is resentful that the United States played favorites with Egypt even though the time military also overthrew the government. The consequences of that and the cable traffic is now the Chinese are building a canal where their ships can go straight through China and Thailand and go straight to the Indian Ocean. Noticed that President Trump is not going to visit Thailand? That could be because the tires are not as friendly as they used to be because of what President Obama said and what the Wikileaks leaks had to say. Thanks to Manning, Angela Merkel knows that the u.s. can spy on her cell phone conversations. So maybe Manning didn't cause anybody to get killed but he sure did cause people to get kicked out of the other governments who were pro-democracy and pro transparency and anti-corruption. Still, the left and the bleeding hearts will say he's a victim and so on and so forth not realizing that his Lady Gaga DVD-R that he stuck out of his skiff actually cost a lot of damage that will still be felt years from now. It's too bad that Manning didn't get the same treatment as private slovik did in World War II. This soldier with a criminal record was a deserter and he was quickly executed. Private Bergdahl was a traitor as well and he also got out of jail. Manning and Bergdahl should have had life in prison or been executed. It's been a travesty of Justice these last few years and now we have to hear this idiot talk from a supposedly level of competence when he is still an idiot. He was an idiot and basic training, he was an idiot and traitor while on active duty and now he is an idiot as a treasonous public figure.

He is a disgrace and what does he know that anyone would want to hear? He was a lower level enlisted man with zero strategic perspective. Interviewing him for military or geopolitical insight is like asking an infant about adulthood. You will get no real insight, perhaps a soiled diaper back.

Yes. But Manning is now the darling of the Liberal Elite - do the math here.
