WTF is going on with Bradley Manning? He is to receive sex change surgery in prison

[dunksby]

Well TBH I had not kept up with him after he was arrested because of the leaks, so today when I saw this piece of news, I got a bit disturbed:
[QUOTE]
U.S. soldier Chelsea Manning, serving a 35-year prison term for passing classified files to WikiLeaks, ended her hunger strike on Tuesday after the Army said she would be allowed to receive gender transition surgery, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) said.

The 28-year-old Army private, who was born male but revealed after being convicted of espionage that she identifies as a woman, announced the hunger strike on Friday.

Manning's treatment will begin with the surgery that was recommended by her psychologist in April, the ACLU, which represented Manning, said in a statement. Manning is held in Kansas.

No transgender inmate has ever before received gender affirming surgical treatment in prison, the ACLU said.

"I am unendingly relieved that the military is finally doing the right thing. I applaud them for that. This is all that I wanted

This dude betrays the army and now is getting all kinds of privileges, wonder how many disabled vets are still waiting to receive proper treatment, while traitors are pampered.

Should've just put a bullet in him and be done with it.

manning spent almost a year in solitary confinement and will likely spend the rest of her life in prison. the notion that she has "all kinds of privileges" is retarded.

It's a privilege he wasn't executed for treason. Or desertion.

Living, getting psychiatric counsel and cosmetic surgery are all privileges for somebody who should have been executed.

Could say the same for the current pres. Manning, however screwed up (s)he may be, is a patriot.
