One Response to Interviews

    I don’t understand why you think the miirlaty has no due process. The services can’t roll around and do whatever they want: they’re civilian controlled a fundamental tenet of our whole society.Have you ever heard of a congressional ? It’s what the miirlaty calls an inquiry from a member of congress that results from an enlisted servicemember complaining about something to their congressman. Congressionals are treated with the utmost seriousness when they’re received they have to be responded to and a reasonable attempt made to address the problem. To ignore one would have serious repercussions up and down the command line, resulting in anything from your career grinding to a halt to a court martial.It’s one of the many ways that a civilian, elected by other civilians, exercises restraint on what the miirlaty does. I know movies like Full Metal Jacket can give people the impression it’s okay to scream yourself hoarse and beat the shit out of someone for not doing something correctly, but the reality is much more complicated.I could drone on and on but this is already drifting into the too long, didn’t read category. Suffice it to say, Manning has rights he is unwaveringly afforded, regardless of what he’s accused of doing.
