(15,480 posts)I knew some of the facts in your OP, but there were several that were new to me.
I've lived a long time, and for 3 years of that time, I was a National Institute of Mental Health Research Fellow. I have observed over the decades that mental illness is often contagious, in the sense that those who live and/or work in close contact with the mentally ill/morally depraved, become enablers and often adopt these behaviors and join in on the depravity themselves. I also believe that there is such a thing as "evil". I used to consider it extremely rare, but looking over the list of facts which Manning exposed, I'd say that evil is becoming epidemic.
I think Bradley Manning recognized two roads diverging in his life and he consciously chose to take what I consider the moral high road.
