2LT Earl Dean To this I can only say, "quit your cryin'. You did the crime, and now you are going to do the time !!" What did he think was going to happen, that he was going to a salon and spa for 35 years?

It should've thought about that before it did what it did!

I see this and it makes my hair stand on end! I wanna slap him around. This man gave away US secrets and now wants to be a woman on the tax payers of this country and be treated as a woman! He/She is serving thirty five years for his/her crime. I think if he wants to do that sort of thing the Government should make him wait until he gets out of prison to do it on his dime. SO he is sick in the head! I don't think we should pay for his comfort! He should have been shot for giving away secrets in the first place!

Oh boo, hoo. I am so sad.
The prison is so mean to me for enforcing rules and confiscating contraband.
I will expose their inhumanities to the world on the internet!
Yes... that is the ticket.

Because being convicted of illegally copying and distributing classified materials is not the issue at all.
What a schmuck.

You should sue because its the Governments fault that you gave up all that secret/top secret intel.

(for those that cannot tell, there is sarcasm in that comment)

At least he has one honest thing about him - his feelings are accurate.

A few thoughts:
- The UCMJ is administered for the following reasons: punishment, deterrence, rehabilitation, and good order/discipline.
- Bradley/Chelsea Manning received due process and was convicted of violations of the Espionage Act.
- PVT Manning's motives for his/her actions may be matters of extenuation and mitigation but are not a matter of guilt or innocence of the charges and therefore should not be the grounds for any appeal that he/she may initiate.
- If PVT Manning does not like the treatment that he/she is receiving while in prison then he/she should not have committed the crime in the first place.
- Therefore I recommend that PVT Manning sit down, shut up, and do his/her time. Any negative feelings that he/she has about his/her treatment while in prison are exactly that. His/her feelings. Grow up.

Words fail me. The person in question is a treasonous individual. I have zero sympathy.

Bradley, I swear, man.

On top of your other antics, why would you go to prison and declare you're a woman?

Hahahahahahahahahaha! This whole story is a mega, huge, big joke! The dude is in prison. He really expects all these things be granted for him? He gave up his rights except for basic needs when he became a traitor. We should watch out though. If Bruce.. oops I mean Caitlyn Jenner advocates for him, the prison doors might just fly open. You know how people just jove him... um I mean her. LOL! What a joke!

When he gets his lady parts, paid by us the taxpayer, he can re file his lawsuits . The government should take 20 years to process the paperwork

2LT Earl Dean It it ? Legal or appropriate to refer to that being as a "her"?
