This is my issue with people who are like “but she gave up important military secrets and put soldiers at risk!!”

And it’s like, that’s a really nice propaganda-y way to say she exposed the military committing crimes and cruel acts that should not be allowed, but that active members literally aren’t given the choice to say anything against, because “it compromises our safety everyoen″. That’s a really fucking convenient excuse imo. 

The Nuremberg trials say that every soldier has the duty to disobey orders to commit war crimes and blow the whistle on any that take place. Period.

Military personnel who kill civilians or otherwise commit war crimes deserve to be at risk of harm. If the system truly worked and justice truly prevailed in our society, many combat veterans would be getting prison sentences rather than book deals or comfortable civilian jobs.
