Edward Snowden
Edward Snowden was born into a family who had dedicated their whole lives for their country, all being employed by the federal government of the United States of America . An American citizen born in 1983, Snowden spent 5 months in the army before breaking both his legs and being discharged as a result. He wanted to fight in Afghanistan because he thought that people that live in oppression must be freed and that it was his obligation as a human being to do what he can to help free the oppressed (Gaskell, 2013). Snowden accepted a job at the CIA in 2006 after applying during a job fair. In 2009, Snowden began working for Dell working in the NSA department with managing computer systems for a variety of government agencies(Gaskell, 2013). In 2012, he was reassigned by Dell to go to Hawaii. Alas, on the 20th of May 2013 Snowden flew from Hawaii to Hong Kong, thus began his journey as a whistleblower.
