As noted in my post, profoundly uneducated on Chelesa Manning.
What's up with her/why the dislike? Since you seem to know, and I am seeking to learn.
I honestly don't know anything about her other than, she was locked up for a long tine, she defied the government in some way, and her tweets are pretty cringey a lot of the time.

@katiekats He leaked classified documents that it is exceedingly likely directly lead to the deaths of US soldiers on active deployment. Even the transistion is likely just trying to evade consequences and get attention rather than any actual need. Its why I refuse to honor it.
-
@katiekats Honoring someone wearing it as some fashion accessory to try to escape punishment is a deep insult to those with actual GID that require it.

@maiyannah
Oh. So like a 'whistleblower' sort of situation, but rather than really expose any shitty government things, it just led to innocent deaths?
-
@katiekats A whistleblower does it out of some moral misgiving, not seeking attention.

@maiyannah
So they, leaked documents, I guess detailing military plans or summin, hence leading to deaths cos it was made public so...well the people with guns on the other side found out their positions or some such through the documents...?
-
@katiekats Many of the documents detailed active operations which then suffered attacks, casualties, and fatalities.

@maiyannah
Fucking hell that's awful.

@katiekats Its basically since then been a game of trying to justify himself. The transistion was done specifucally to try to get him into a civillian lnstitution rather than a military prison.
