Bradley Manning: I want to live as a woman

he wouldnt have been able to take hormones before anyways.

What would have happened if he got them on the low before being charged? Would the military prison have to continue the treatment? And even that says nothing of public opinion. But more importantly, why didn't they have a closer eye on someone who had access to classified materials? If they had, he would have been discharged, for better or worse, and all of this would have been avoided.

So you would be the Nazi who was "just following orders" rather than question your leadership and the crimes they committed. What a stand up piece of work you must be!!

Big deal, you were in the military - so you took a job that you could get, what does that have to do with anything? I've done a bunch of jobs that required harder and dirtier work than most of the military that I know - and I didn't have to "serve" anyone. You done it for a paycheck - get over that, smart ass.

"Big deal, you were in the military - so you took a job that you could get",
"You done it for a paycheck"
Typical comments from an asshole who doesn't get it.
And comparing me to a Nazi because I understand the difference between following the chain of command and reporting violations to the JAG, and running to a rabid Leftist journalist with an axe to grind against the US Military, is infantile.

You know....

I was in the military and know all about what you said.

But...I know the politics of the military.

I still agree with Seanchai. These "secrets" being brought to JAG would've done nothing and they would have keep it under wraps.

It's a distraction- put out there so the discussion moves from possible war crimes committed by the U.S. govt to whether tax payer dollars should finance his hormone therapy in prison. Who knows if it is even true. Bottomline is Americans love this sort of stuff so the talking heads on the left and right can have their shouting matches on tv, meanwhile the whole business of war crimes is swept from the public consciousness.

I'm a 6 year honorable discharged disabled combat war vet and the government or states should pay my hormones/srs costs before this convicted felon or any of these two bit TG hoodlooms for that matter. They made their own Fucked up choices.

With that type of attitude you deserve diddly squat....He has done a service, reporting these war crimes and now he has been served an injustice.....What was your big contribution to society???
