Manning swore to protect the US Constitution and did just that. I wish there were more citizens in the uniforms who take their oaths as seriously as he did. The same goes regarding Snowden. The whole of NSA takes an oath to protect the US constitution on the one hand. On the other NSA has programs that basically destroy the US Constitution. And the only guy who takes his Oath seriously and reveals NSA's anti-Constitution war is the guilty one?

Something wrong with the morals of the people in the uniforms nowadays. The Oath is to be taken seriously. If you take an Oath to protect the US Constitution and then are given orders that basically destroy it, you bear the responsibility not to fulfill them and reveal those secret actions to the US public.

What did he reveal that was unconstitutional?

Modern USG is neither proscribed nor prescribed by the written constitution - it is extraconstitutional (same as Google). However, as it has usurped the constitutional government and is forcefully extracting our wealth to fund its empire, it is a domestic enemy.
