I see plenty of parallels with this incident.

I'm sure there are loads of parallel instances, but that doesn't make Bradley Manning's actions beneficial to his fellow soldiers. Actually if that situation resolved itself without a Bradley Manning, then maybe he need not have given all that classified info to wikileaks.

I see what Bradley Manning did as wrong, now I know you think he was obeying some greater law, but I think his duty comes before that.
