So Bradley Manning has been a woman living in a man's body all this time. So does he go to a men's prison or a woman's prison? Glad to see the taxpayers aren't going to have to pay for the meds or surgery. He'ss (I mean she'll) be out in about seven years. This is going to make a great book/movie deal.

And for all you wingnuts out there, this is not Obama's fault.

I don't think this is Obama's fault at all. This is just a case of one piece of shit leaking intel that wasn't his to tell and now all of a sudden he wants to live as a woman. I support transgender people, but this is bullshit. Fuck him, his sex change that WE have to pay for, and I hope he gets anal raped in prison the scumbag whichever fucking one he gets sent to.

I agree with you 100% I read someplace we wont have to pay for it. I sure as hell hope we don't. As for anal rape, he may like it!

He is still subject to the CMJ which does not provide for such an operation.

As part of his dishonorable discharge he forfeits all his military benefits. I'm not sure but I don't think his rights as a prisoner would cover elective surgery.

Woman or man, a guy like this deserves the rest of his life behind bars. And where did you read we won't have to pay for it?

The way I understand it, he wants, for now, hormones only, and NOT a surgery. Tho he has a right to healthcare while he's in prison, I can't see where even the hormone (pills, shots?) would be considered a necessity. Of course, I'm guessing doctors could connect mental/emotional issues with that, saying he "needs" them as part of his therapy. I don't know!!! Just guessing.



TIS

Once again, as military prisoner he is still subject to the CMJ which does not provide for such an operation.

Oof, first three posts in this thread are terrible. Fucking shame on you, guys.

Thomas, are you on Twitter? I'd like to show your wish for someone to be raped to all the people on there.

You should add your Twitter handle to this page, Mr. Attorney!

No he doesn't deserve life. He deserves what he got. 35 years with parole in 7. I read they wont pay for any surgery in Politico or someplace like that.

Why are you acting like it is a insane idea that the government will pay? In California, prison inmates have the RIGHT to government performed genital mutilation. It is claimed to be "psychologically necessary" therefore as valid as a broken leg.

I bet the feds end up forking over this one. It is part of the LBGTZWEGFREG movement that every mental ill person claiming to be the wrong gender gets these operations for free. The military will cave on this issue just like it has on every other social experiment that liberals want to foist on it.

No, this specific issue is not Obama's fault. But it certainly is liberal's fault for accepting every perversion imaginable and then forcing taxpayers to pay. See California (that just passed the transgender bill of guys using the chicks restroom) as the avant garde for progressive political ideology.

And stop calling Chelsea "he" you bigots.

His attorney has already petitioned obomma for a Presidential pardon. Considering those which slick willie gave out, I would not be shocked to see him grant one

Even Obama doesn't want state secrets and military intelligence to leak like this retard did. He isn't going to get shit from the O.

First, this freak should have never been in the military to begin with. That he was shows how low the bar has fallen.

Second, the slime ball traitor did deserve life in prison. Parole in 7 years? Give me a break.

Third, that he actually has the nerve to ask for tax-payers to pay for whatever the hell he wants to do to his body shows just what a lunatic he is.

Lock this freak up and throw away the key. Better yet, just hang him and be done with it.

The voice of reason has spoken. So it is said, so it shall be written, so it shall be done.

Sincere question to my liberal friends: do you think the media just accepting this bizarre tale at face value and calling this dude "her" and "chelessa" is great progress in society or just flat out surreal?

A little of both???

It's certainly surreal . I went on wiki to find out what episode i was on in a tv series. What do i see? US soldier Chelsea Manning is jailed for 35 years. They must of had terrible parents, both Brother and Sister got 35

More like insanity. There's no other way to put it. What this guy wants to call himself is one thing. But for journalists, who take themselves seriously and who's job it is to report facts, to go along with the charade is, again, insane. It reminds me of those stories a few years ago about a "man" giving birth. News headlines actually said that. Nevermind that's physically impossible and the so-called "man" was actually a transgender woman. And I use the term "transgender" loosely since that's also physically impossible. But in this day and age, political correctness trumps all else.

Yep you guys/gals are right, the will NOT pay for this in a military prison.

Neither.

Antonio Benedetto calls himself Tony Bennett, and it is no problem. Alan Konnesberg calls himself Woody Allen, and it is no problem, ans do it goes. A person has the right to be called whatever he or she wants to be called. Ditto for gender. I couldn't care less what this person calls him/herself, or if he/she claims to want to be a woman. Bottom line is bt any name what we have is a convicted felon who is going to do time for crimes against the United States. I would have a problem with the taxpayers paying for all this transgender medication/surgery but evidently that is not going to happen.

First, even you can see the difference between your Tony Bennett and Woody Allen examples above and a man calling himself by a woman's name or vice versa. Second, the real question is whether the rest of society, including the media, should play along with the charade and refer to Manning as "she." And the answer is no.

Its not "obamma" Its president Obama. Show a little respect.

Right because liberals only refereed to bush as "President Bush" and "Mr. President". Never Hitler or anything else terrible

Yea no shit. Wonder where Dubya came from???

I try to respect the office, even if I dislike the man and/or his politics. I tried to never call him anything but President Bush, and I hope I never did.

I dont have respect for politicians period, but can respect ur position sicilian babe. That said you are in the extreme minority if you are infact a card carrying liberal. I was on a college campus, and most called Bush "hitler" or "facist" or other horrific titles.

Comparing a US president to Hitler is just nonsense. And I'm not a card carrying anything. I have no affiliated political party because I want to vote for the candidate who makes the most sense to me. I have voted for many different candidates from many different parties, and I feel that blind allegiance is the only thing that does NOT make sense.

I find it funny that people are uncomfortable with his choice of name. It's even funnier that they probably wouldn't mind if he was called Chelsea by other prisoners. I like it when people like that get uncomfortable.
