    Manning was sentenced Wednesday at Fort Meade, near Baltimore.

    The judge convicted the 25-year-old soldier last month of 20 offenses, including six violations of the Espionage Act. He could have been sentenced to 90 years in prison.

    Prosecutors had asked for at least 60 years behind bars. Manning’s lawyer suggested no more than 25, because by then, some of the documents Manning leaked will be declassified.

    Bradley Manning goes to jail for Espionage Acts who probably put at risk US military personal and US citizens but only 35 years. The “Jew” Rubashkin 27 years the “Jew” Samet 30 years and the Jew Weberman 105 years.
    Whatever crimes “these Jews” committed its nothing to compare what Manning did but this is our great American justice system,how sad.
