Indeed, the sponsor calls the soldier a patriot who deserves a medal!
What did the soldier do? Kill jihadis? Drag a fellow soldier to safety under fire? Jump on a grenade?
Well, not quite. The soldier, PFC Manning, betrayed his country and provided that scumbag Assange with tons of secret American military and diplomatic documents:
“If he did what he’s accused of doing, he’s a patriot and should get a medal,” Bob Meola, author of the resolution told the San Francisco Chronicle. “I think the war criminals should be the ones prosecuted, not the whistle-blowers.”
Sigh. Well, even bastards deserve representation on our elected bodies, I suppose.
Oh, and I hear the Code Pink hags support Manning and Berkeley's proposal. Which is only fair, since Berkeley voted to give Code Pink a parking spot so they could protest Marine recruiting in their city.
