But she got a rude awakening in 2007 during basic training in Missouri.

“I absolutely was caught off guard by the intensity,” she remembered. “There were points when I was humiliated pretty badly.”

No, you were a wuss and a coward who couldn't keep up with the real men.

I loved U.S. Army Basic Training!

It turned this boy into a lean, mean, fighting machine.

Now days I'm a little more flabbier, but still mean, so don't mess with me FReepers :-)

[The Army made her feel “like a joke”]

“It” is a joke.

We already know he’s bat-sh*t-crazy. Can we just ignore this little homo now?

In the early 1970s I heard an interesting short comment from a senior master sergeant who had just had his first encounter with a newly minted second lieutenant who had provided the E8 with “direction”. The comment was: “Another dickless wonder speaks.”

2nd LT’s were so much fun to break in and get their minds right.

Why are they using the pronoun "Her" to describe a male? If someone thinks they Napoleon, are you going to refer to them as "Your Excellency"?

Don't humor kooks.

I went through Basic COMBAT Training (as it was then called) at Ft Leonard Wood also, during the hot Summer of 1978. I had not been an athlete in high school nor someone who exercised and I’ll bet my basic was much rougher than his. I had no big problem getting through it and went on to be an intelligence analyst, just like this criminal.

Living proof why, in the past at least, anyone considering gender switching surgery had to go through tons of psych exams. To rule out they are essentially crazy, and truly establish their “brain state” as male or female.

This sheeit is simply a weirdo clown with delusions of his/her self importance. Like a lot of homo males— got to be center of attn. all the time. Toot of Earl.

He is not a she. As much as these mentally deranged people think they can be a choo choo train or werewolf, they cannot change the sex they were born with. I refuse to call a he a she, or a she a he just because they decided they are born who they are not. Don’t let the libs control the language.

Our daughter enjoyed Marine boot camp also. She would tell me about how fun it was crawling through the mud, under concertina wire, carrying the weapon. She never once called it humiliation. She said parts were tough and some of the punishments intense like 300 push ups in the 100+ heat and high humidity of Parris Island with the mosquitoes biting every part of you while the DI hosed down the sand to make it that much harder, but she never said she was humiliated.

As far as Chelsea, maybe she should compare stories with Brucette (or whatever her name is now) Jenner.

Exactly.

The low info voters will fall for it but not FReepers.

It's disgusting that the MSM use the feminine pronoun to describe "IT".

BTW, how's things in Thailand?

Did you guys do the long low crawl under barbed wire with M-60's firing over your head in Basic?

Now that was a rush.

Yes it was. So was firing the M-60 and the LAW rocket. Our senior student at AIT was a former Green Beret who ran us about 20 miles a day. Much harder than basic. But my AIT was coed, so it was quite interesting.

When are this special little snowflake’s 15 minutes of fame going to be up? Manning’s an ate-up little freak who betrayed his country. Nothing’s gonna change that, whether he’s male, female, or Klingon.

The only thing I still want to know about Manning is why he was reclaimed from the discharge unit during basic training (I think that is what it is called), and why previous infractions weren’t enough to get him out of a sensitive posting. This guy was bad news from day one.
