The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, says the Army private formerly known as Bradley Manning is at a high risk of self-castration and suicide unless she receives more focused treatment for gender dysphoria at the U.S. Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.

"Such clear disregard of well-established medical protocols constitutes cruel and unusual punishment," ACLU attorney Chase Strangio said in a statement.

The Army is providing some treatment but not enough, according to the lawsuit.

He’s at high risk for self castration? He wants to be a girl that badly he will do the job himself????

is at a high risk of self-castration and suicide

So?

[A CA Guy]

How about just a jar of lubricant and a burley bunk mate who is a lifer? Far cheaper IMO.

[EEGator]

Why isn’t that thing ambient temperature?

Lawyers are shameless.

Just hang this traitor.

I say that the military embraces the new technology medium and has a kickstarter for castrating the soldier and giving him girly parts, and paying for all the treatment. They can put in stretch goals past the campaign point, for things like anesthesia, razors, hormones, the works.

Green is the New Orange, they can call it. And all these liberals who are oh so eager to make the military pay for his choices can actually fund it.

Wanna bet that it pulls in only a couple hundred dollars? Liberals love to spend other people's money, but are rather stingy about ponying up their own bucks.

George Orwell called - and after reading the story lede - he apologized for under estimating the liberal mind in 1984.

Might I loan it a knife?

[blueunicorn6]

She might castrate herself? If he said he was a kangaroo, would the Army have to cut a pouch in him?

[johniegrad]

Chase is the one on the left.

[RichInOC]

I support commuting Nidal Hasan to life and celling him with Bradley. Hasan Shoot and Bradley deserve each other.

[skeeter]

He does indeed look strangio.

[NoLibZone]

He is at a high risk of suicide unless we give him anything he wants.

Hehehe...

[no-to-illegals]

oops ... never mind ... is not about Payton or Eli

[NKP_Vet]

Would love to tie that little traitorous little “girl” on top of an ant hill.

“... Bradley Manning is at a high risk of self-castration and suicide unless she...”

Girls cannot be castrated. Ergo, Bradley Manning is a male.

[OldSmaj]

...the Army private formerly known as Bradley Manning is at a high risk of self-castration and suicide...

Works for me.
