Given the amount of documents leaked, it's likely that Manning hasn't even been charged with the full range of possible charges, which the government could hold onto until their statute of limitations runs up.
I reality, I don't think Manning could see this going any other way. Soldiers are briefed about how severe penalties for leaking even the tiniest bit of non-public information can be. She knew what would happen and she chose to follow through. As I haven't had the time to read the documents leaked, I can't comment on how just or unjust this sentence is on a moral level.

35 years isn't that harsh considering he avoided life in prison for major classified leaks.
You know the justice system in your country is ******** when someone who revealed some secrets gets 35 years, but actual war criminals like **** Cheney get nothing.
**** Cheney was convicted by the Kuala Lumpur council, which has absolutely no legitimacy and no legal basis. It's not even recognized by the UN. So he's no more a war criminal than if joe schmo down the street were to declare him a war criminal

And he could've gotten away with it, but his gender issues made him confide in someone he shouldn't have trusted.
He has a *****. That's a guy.
It's scary that people like you exist, who would knowingly encourage a mentally handicap man to want to pursue such fantasies.
