Overwhelming us with incessant, rapid change. Saul Alinsky style chaos.

What do Chelsea Manning treatments mean for transgender troops?

Hope and Change.

I remember back in Viet Nam when the Army frowned on cutting ears and penis's off of dead men....Now they sanction it off of live men!...I'm confused...

"her role"

Can't anybody refer to the little freak correctly?

[rottndog]

ANY confused ‘transgender’ who didn’t disclose their condition prior to enlistment, are guilty under the UCMJ of Fraudulent Enlistment, and needs to be prosecuted and discharged. Otherwise, anyone who wants to be ‘converted’ at no cost can join the Military and demand it.

Chase Strangio, Manning’s attorney

Perfect name

I was under the impression that the military was very strict about soldiers who needed to take prescription medicine. I'm not sure where they draw the line -- ritalin, prozac. acutane, etc. But in general, I thought that if the soldier were "medicated" and if Reductions In Force were needed, then the soldier with the prescriptions was likely to be forced out.

But some freakshow needing a battery of hormone replacements is just the kind of soldier they''re looking for?

It will be a case of Torture in the future

I guess the Army has decided to foster his mental illness.

“Ms. Manning, who identifies as transgender”

I identify him as a traitor.

Hormone treatment is not sex change. The “troops” are not per se, extended this special therapy without a serious amount of psych examination, long before which they will be discharged.

The real reason why Bradley is doing a sex change is so that he’s not in general pop with the other guys at Leavenworth. If he was in general pop, he’d be shanked within the week.
