The Army is to blame for Manning. Just how did he get his clearance? Young, immature, and a poof!
Obama’s military spending cuts combined with Obama’s overall contempt for the U.S. military made it necessary for the Army to scrape the bottom of the barrel for recruits.
Please understand that I believe that the majority of young people choosing military service are among the best and brightest America has, but getting and keeping quality recruits is difficult when the Commander in Chief takes every opportunity to demonstrate his contempt for the U.S. military and to make life difficult for our soldiers.
No the voters who elected Zero twice. (Any modern Rat would do the same!) are to blame. You put a left wing loon (which means any Rat!) in a position of responsibility meaning one that sets policy these thing will happen. They are constitutionally bound to happen! The Army or any part of the FEDGOV executive can only execute policy. Yeah yeah the Brass can resign. Some do, most hunker down and try to weather the storm thinking in four years sanity returns. It didn’t it lasted eight. Besides the American people seem to be very accepting of this ‘non-dangerous (maybe?) sociopathy’. The military is a reflection of society, society accepts the formerly unacceptable then so will the military. Facts don’t matter any more.
