Chelsea Manning raises her voice on the ISIS issue.

ISIS seems to be the hottest topic the past few weeks and now a new voice has risen to give a point of view. Chelsea Manning who served in the US army as an intelligence analyst as Bradley Manning has penned an article first appearing on The Guardian website yesterday. As with all opinions this should be taken as just her point of view and agreement or disagreement is not what this post is about, it is to forward the message and thought of Manning to the readers.

An artist's rendering of how Chelsea Manning sees herself.


A few different publishers have picked up this story and a bit of confusion or willful misinterpretation has taken place by some. In his article Manning lays out her experience and knowledge of the group and their aims. Manning explains what he sees as a legitimate course that can be taken to limit, degrade and ultimately try to destroy the group with as little intervention as possible. As she puts it, " Bullets and Bombs won't stop ISIS."
