It was not extremely harsh but I think he/she should get some mental health counseling. The kid is extremely confused.

Was Petraeus confused or was he just smitten?

Both were wrong but Manning's was far more damaging to the Government.

Damaging, What damage did he cause?

Here

Chelsea Elizabeth Manning[4] (born Bradley Edward Manning, December 17, 1987) is a United States Army soldier who was convicted by court-martial in July 2013 of violations of the Espionage Act and other offenses after disclosing to WikiLeaks nearly three-quarters of a million classified or unclassified but sensitive military and diplomatic documents.

As Trump would say – fake news…………………
The government was collecting shit illegally and he outed them

In reply to birdseye

So all the documents he released, was collected illegally?

The power structure feels threatened whenever any of its shenanigans are exposed and thus felt compelled to make an example of Manning – his prosecution and the extensive sentence was in a way; gratuitous……….that’s my take

You sound like a conspiracy theorist, the law is simple and severe for such offenses, regardless of how the Government obtained it. Manning was lucky not to get a life sentence and luckier to be pardoned.
