Chelsea manning will be serving 8-35 years in prison for acting in the interests of humanity and the integrity of her country. She brought to light numerous war crimes perpetrated by the US and allied forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as misrepresentation, lies and cover-ups by our military. By bringing this information to Wikileaks, Pvt Manning put her own life and right to freedom and the pursuit of happiness at risk. She did so because it was the right thing to do - a display of true fearlessness and integrity. Any 'aid' her revelations provided to the enemy were inconsequential and pale in comparison to the injustices she brought to light. Her prosecution and imprisonment implies an administration and military that condones the heinous and unjust actions she revealed.
