This is the same pettiness that is now
persecuting Bradley
Manning. There can be no leading digital
nation. Our campfire now encircles the
planet. If
governments cannot accept this they are in danger of being
replaced
by the gypsies, Google, Facebook et al. I don't
know which is the greater
evil.
A simple neutral phase about the UK being a "leading
digital nation" provoked such angst? I couldn't read
anything into that
myself. "Leading digital nation" could
mean anything, good, bad, or
indifferent, without further
qualification that you don't provide. It has
nothing to do
with Bradley Manning who is not "being persecuted". He is
being
charged with a serious offense, and as far as I can
tell, has admitted his
guilt. If you are in the military,
you better obey the laws of the military.
The USA no longer
has conscription, and I assume anyone joining the military
there is well aware that military laws are a very serious
matter and it is the
duty of every soldier to obey.
Your comment is a bizarre collage of
incongruous images:
gypsies, Google, Manning, campfires, "persecution" of a
soldier who has transgressed basic military codes, any they
are all Evil. I
think you must not sleep well. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
