David Rovics - Song for Bradley Manning (official video)

"Song for Bradley Manning," is written and performed by David Rovics. Manning had been assigned in October 2009 to a unit of the ten mountain division, based near Baghdad. There he had access to the Secret Internet Protocol Router Network ( SIPRNet) used by the United States government to transmit classified information. He was arrested
after Adrian Lamo, a computer hacker, reported to the FBI that Manning had told him during online
chats in May 2010 that he had downloaded material from SIPRNet and passed it to WikiLeaks. The leaked material is said to have included 250,000 US diplomatic cables including footage of a July 2007 Bagdad airstrike; and footage of the May 2009 Granai airstrike in Afghanistan.

Bradley Manning was initially held in a maximum custody and Marine Corps Brig in Quantico, Virginia, which in effect meant solitary confinement, conditions that Amnesty International has called harsh and punitive.

This is weird how people treat PFC Bradley Manning as a betrayal after watching such a video.. He's a hero!

Exposing war crimes is NOT a crime..!

I demand the right to the pursuit of happiness.

I am not demanding to be happy, for those who try to be stupid.

I have history now, to prove that I do not create victims.

Our government cannot make the same claim.

[naturesmeds]

EVERY man who joins the military knows that our constitution is violated on a daily basis.

It was the same way in 1977, when I joined, and the oath was a joke.

I was the only one in the room who was not laughing.

They throw dead soldier's ashes in the landfill, like its trash!

GlobalRevolution shows that mother nature grows more people like me, every day.

[naturesmeds]

I have been in those military prisons, back when bread & water was served.

Bradley Manning is still wearing the uniform, but I was not.

Do I want the publicity?

Only if it would force the government to start all over with the founding document as 1 piece of paper, like Jefferson intended.

@AmerikanPatriot fuck you you fascist fuck

[mortymty]

@AmerikanPatriot gay or not. show the truth for the world isnt a crime, hide a crime is double crime, if someone you know broke the law, and you told the police . should you be put behind bars then ?

[AmerikanPatriot]

Manning betrayed his country and has risked the lives of all of us. This has been a lesson in what happens when we let homos into the army.
