The word on the street is that PFC Manning is also responable
for the 260,000 diplomatic cables, to the whistleblower website Wikileaks
He is in the Quantico detention facility since July 31 in solitary confinement
I wonder what his trial will reveal regarding he's motive?????
Remember the Spartans? They had same-sex relationships in their army - it was positively encouraged for older soldiers to "educate" a younger one in all manner of things. They weren't gay insofar as they had monogamous same-sex lifepartners, but there was an awful lot of rogering going on. It didn't hurt their martial prowess in any way.
Nowadays the situation is different. Society sees homosexuality as iffy, and pederasty might as well mean the same thing as paedophilia. Therefore, I don't think that it's a good idea for gay men to be permitted to join the military openly, because of the intolerance that would be shown them by the vast majority of the rest of the army. Some nutter with a rifle and an intolerance for an openly gay man he's bunking with doesn't bear thinking about.
