    I was a Navy Nuclear Power Program Electronics Technician Instructor. All the documents that I had access to were well known in the civilian zeitgeist before I was born.

    Snowden may have done something illegal, though my interpretation of both the UCMJ and Federal Whistleblower laws, as well as my recollection of what he released, says that you are a corporatist that is just salty that your favorite MIC corporation got outed for breaking federal laws.

    Manning didn’t break the law and still served an illegal sentence, so I will give Snowden and Asange the benefit of the doubt.

    I’m sick and tired of US propaganda, much less the international versions.

    Trump stole far more classified documents and that is just fine according to the law
