True American heroes will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law….

But don’t tell anyone, it’s a secret.


So while everyone focusing on the Zimmerman verdict, the media blackout on the Bradley Manning trial continues. Now if you’re one of the few people who don’t remember who this kid is and what this kid did let me remind you. Bradley Manning stands accused of Aiding the Enemy and communicating national defense information to an unauthorized source, as well as 19 other charges. 25 year old Bradley released a video showing the tragic  July 12, 2007 Baghdad airstrike and the 2009 Granai airstrike in Afghanistan; 250,000 United States diplomatic cables; and 500,000 army reports that came to be known as the Iraq War logs and Afghan War logs. 



[The July 12, 2007 Baghdad airstrikes were a series of ground attacks conducted by a team of two United States Army Apache helicopters in Al-Amin al-Thaniyah, in the district of New Baghdad in Baghdad, during the Iraqi insurgency and US military occupation of Iraq which followed the Iraq War. The attacks received worldwide coverage following the release of 39 minutes of classified cockpit gun sight footage in 2010.
In the first strike "Crazyhorse 1/8" and "Crazyhorse 1/9" directed30mm cannon fire at a group of nine to eleven[8][9] men, of whom one had an AK-47 and another an RPG-7;[10][11][12][13] most were unarmed;[14][15] two were war correspondents for Reuters: Saeed Chmagh and Namir Noor-Eldeen, whose cameras were mistaken for weapons. Eight[8] men, including Noor-Eldeen, were killed; Chmagh was wounded.

The second airstrike using 30 mm fire was directed at Chmagh and two other unarmed men as they were attempting to help Chmagh into their van. Two children inside the van were wounded; three more men were killed, including Chmagh and the children's father.[9] ]Wikki “July 12, 2007

Yeah, that’s what he did. He exposed our president as a mass murder of epic proportions. He exposed the fact that American soldiers are gunning down innocent men, women and children! You don’t believe it? GOOD, go look it up! While you’re at it look up the fact that veteran suicide rates are at an all time high now averaging a pace of one active duty man every 18 hours! Yes you read that right! Why are they killing themselves?

And now they are trying Manning as a traitor?! No, Bradley Manning is no traitor. Bradley Manning exposed our corrupt blood thirsty government to the light of day. He stood up for what was right. He did what I wish every man in the military would do. He said, “No more”. And you should too.

The media paints people in Iraq and Afghanistan as American hating heathens with silly beliefs and dangerous weapons. They are flying around in an Apache Helicopter spotting people through infrared scopes, and they are hiding in the freaking sand with rocket launchers! I'm not defending any terrorist actions, not by any means, I'm simply pointing out that this is not a war! It’s an all out assault of a nation that probably could use help, but not the kind the US offers. And NO not everyone they kill is an innocent bystander, but if they were American bystanders? If they were WHITE bystanders? Would we tolerate it then? Would it be ok then? I don't think it would. Free Bradley Manning. End the War of Terror.
