DUTY HONOR COUNTRY

Where I come from, they have a name for people who give away government secrets that may endanger American lives on the battle field; “TRAITOR”. Plain and simple. If you give away state secrets to the rest of the world, including our enemy's; then you are guilty of treason and should be dealt with accordingly. Army Pfc. Bradley Manning literally leaked thousands of of sensitive documents to Wikileaks and its founder; Julian Assange, endangering personnel in the field and at home. Knowingly publishing these documents had only one intent, undermining the U.S. Military's presence in the Middle East. Both are equally guilty of nothing less than espionage.

What is so upsetting about the affair, is the fact that Manning is or was a trusted member of the US Armed Forces. There used to be this thing called “HONOR” that was held sacred by members of the Military. Where did that go? Not unlike Major Nidal Malik Hasan, who killed 12 and wounded 31 of his fellow soldiers at Ft. Hood back in November, who I consider to be a cowardly terrorist acting in the name of holy jihad against the US, Manning is just as guilty as if he had pulled the trigger and unloaded his weapon on a group of his fellow soldiers, killing as many as he could without remorse. They used to put people like this up against a wall and a firing squad. Which is the least these two scoundrels deserve.

What happened to “DUTY and HONOR “ in this country? Look no further than Washington DC and you will see the very same thing; a lack of honor representing our country. Scandal after scandal rocks the nation and not just recently, go back to the days of President Richard Nixon and Watergate. He was so sure of his power as absolute, that he broke the law without regard for the consequences and was eventually ratted out by his own people, who were even less honorable than he was for ratting him out to avoid prosecution. Look how the vermin jump off of the ship when it is sinking. Bill “I did not have sexual relations with that woman” Clinton, used the power of the office of President, to escape prosecution and lied on television to the American public and under oath. “HONOR.” Sadly missing from the most honorable institutions of this great country.

Look at Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Rangel and the rest of those hooligans that are our supposed leaders, sworn to uphold the most cherished document of this great nation; the US Constitution. They totally trashed the spirit and meaning of one of the most important symbols of freedom that we have in order to pass some of the most unconstitutional pieces of legislation in the history of our nation. The “Founding Father's” who helped write these precious documents were some of the most “HONORABLE” men alive at that moment in history, who literally risked life and property for these papers.

This group that we have up there now would sell out their own mother to pass a piece of trash, such as they have done recently, with little regard for their fellow country men or the fate of our nation. Lies and bribery are all that this generation of lawmakers are comfortable with. The offices that they hold should be above reproach and an example of “HONOR” for the entire world to see. They should all be ashamed.

In my parents generation, “HONOR and RESPECTABILITY” were the words of the day. If you did not have anything to your name, you had those two remarkable traits. These are what made this country great, along with the will to be the very best at everything that we did. This is what made this country great. Our entrepreneurship and love of country. Now all of that gone as a result of GREED. Our power hungry rulers are not happy with the status quo and will sell us out to the highest bidder to acquire even more power and more control of the very people that placed them into office.

Patriots tired of laws and taxes passed against their homeland without their consent, far less tyranny than we are currently being handed down by our rulers, was the spark that started Revolutionary war that separated a young colony away from it's mother-land and formed a new country called; THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. The founders of this great nation knew all to well that too much power in the hands of it's government, would lead to corruption and eventually, tyranny. So they engineered the Constitution as carefully as they could to prevent this from occurring.
