Bradley Manning: I want to live as a woman* - TODAY.com#

I have not closely followed this case. I would note as this young man would walk among other soldiers how slight and young and small he looked. I would think of "Beetle Bailey" for some strange reason.

This adds another strange twist to an already very puzzling situation.

Why did he join the military?. What is his life story. Why did he leak this secret stuff?

What causes these sorts of things to happen? Do you think he has sexual identity issues or that he would just feel safer in a woman's prison? Do you think this is a ruse?

Just heard on MSNBC that all military prisons treat all prisoners the same regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, or sexual orientation. These prisons do not provide homonal treatment or transgender surgery, so whatever Bradley Manning wants to do will have to wait until after he is released from prison.

Bradley Manning is a traitor and committed treason ...same as Jane Fonda just she has a better more powerful last name .........

[JeffAVEWS]

He is going to the USDB (United States Disciplinary Barracks) at Ft. Leavenworth KS, not the Federal Penitentiary there. I lived 8 miles away. It's not as bad as you may think, read this. U.S. Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth I don't think it would be appropriate for him to be with the women prisoners at San Diego.

Does anyone really care except as we all know that (he/she) (was/is) a little pr--k who committed treasonous acts against our country.

Why do television and internet networks--and audiences--insist on making CELEBRITIES out of traitors and criminals, making our society, nation and military a LAUGHINGSTOCK in the eyes of the rest of the world???? This guy should have been hung yesterday.

He should not get even 5 seconds of broadcast air time.

But he gets it because there are moronic sympathizers out there with nothing better to do with their time than watch such a freak show and press politicians for more rights for them.

[graciegirl]

Does anyone remember the character Klinger in M.A.S.H.?

I don't know why this popped into my head.



I think this is probably politically incorrect. I mean no harm towards anyone. This is just what I thought of. It used to be funny.

A freak show is right. He is a traitor. Treat him like one. If he ever goes transgender I wonder if we the taxpayers will end up picking up the tab?

Oh, he may get a book/movie deal out of this before it is all over. What a sorry a$$ little p***k

[JP]

i think he should be allowed to be a woman with his new prison room mate Big Bad Buck. Pass the soap.

I agree with that! this guy will be out of jail in 8 or so years and will wind up with a movie and book deal unfortunately .

I read a small piece about this a couple of weeks ago and it immediately brought to mind the fact that Julian Assange, who is currently holed up in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, is wanted in Sweden for the rape of at least two women. I am assuming that there is something equally disturbing hidden in the Snowden psyche.

These three are all traitors in one way or the other and they all have major character flaws. Unfortunately Snowden and Bradley were in the employ of our Government. Assange is just a vicious b*****d who seems to be filled with hate.

What makes any one think they can be the judge of what is right and wrong in this world?

I agree 100%. I will not see any movie Jane Fonda is in. The Butler is out now and won't see that one either.

There are certain legal criteria to determine if a person is a traitor. Neither Manning and Snowden allegedly committed the last one "giving aid to the enemy. If anyone really believes that then I know about this bridge in Brooklyn. both these guys passed along very damaging information to our enemies. They are not brave patriots nor are they whistle blowers they are traitors plain and simple.

I am sorry to see Mannings' time will be served in less than a maximum prison and that he was not given life without the possibility of parole.
consider what happened to Julius and Ethel Rosenberg whose acts were no more egregious than Manning and Snowden. they were executed.

I think Snowden may well end up wishing he's been executed .... no picnic living in Russia, they have given him a place to live and, presumably, are feeding him so it stands to reason he has to give back and I am sure Putin will make sure he gives and gives and then gives again, before they decide to send him to some other country. They will bleed him dry. He is a stupid young man to think he was big enough to take on "The Establishment" .........................
