I don't think anyone is disputing that. The conversation covers both reasons for Manning's behavior and reasons for the Army's behavior. Regarding the latter, Undertoad opined that the Army let a troubled Manning remain in position because it apparently didn't care. Lamplighter said Undertoad's opinion was silly unless Manning's superiors already knew information was being leaked; but, didn't otherwise address the Army's handling of Manning's untoward behavior. I opined that politics forced the Army to accept Manning as is; so, they allowed Manning to remain in position until a
serious infraction occurred.

The reason for Manning's troubles
shouldn't matter. Security clearances are; however, political in nature and that's what makes the reason relevant to discussing the Army's actions.
