Not a traitor
I know I'm biting at the forbidden bait, but do share. How is he not a traitor? The **** he wrought is nothing compared to the things Snowden has done.
Fair enough. Plus horses are very messy in the house, and you'd probably throw your back out carrying infant-me.
Ok, serious question here.
Let's say I believe I'm a horse trapped in a man's body. I only answer to my horse name, only eat oats, poop in the street, that sort of thing. Then I would most likely be considered mentally ill and treated for said mental illness.
Let's say I believe I'm an infant trapped in a man's body. I refuse to talk, only eat baby food and only if someone spoon feeds me, and poop in my pants, that sort of thing. Again, i would most likely be considered mentally ill and treated as such.
Let's say I believe I'm a woman trapped in a man's body. Well, then that's just perfectly fine by everyone and anyone who says different is a bigot. We'll get you right to surgery to make your beliefs into reality, Ma'am.
The serious question is: Why is #3 so different than the other two?
The reality is that most transgendered persons do not have sexual re-assignment surgery because their insurance won't pay for it and most individuals cannot afford to pay for it themselves. Most do they best they can (to live as their desired gender) with what they got, but they still got what they got. I see no reason why the taxpayers should foot the bill for Manning. More power to him if he wants the surgery when he gets out, but I think he should pay for it himself. Not my job as a taxpayer to help him out on this one.

He'll get part of his wish. I'm sure there plenty of men in Leavenworth that will be happy to turn his bunghole into their personal recreation area. Maybe they will even tattoo a pair of boobies on his back as well.
I don't believe it.
How can anyone at this point be a traitor? The government and the people have scrapped the constitution so any oaths to uphold said constitution are null.

THAT ^^^ is a very good point. Lot'a glass houses.....Lot'a stones being slung around.
From what I see, maybe I've not seen enough, he only leaked information embarrassing to the military. Not exactly a Traitor but certainly no one to be celebrated either. Sounds like he leaked it more out of spite, not from a sense of honor.
Not a traitor.
Not a hero.
Just a convict.
On a serious note, it's my belief that your chromosomes determine what gender you are. It's not your brain, your heart, or your wishes. It's very simple. Either you have two X's or you have an X and a Y. I'm well aware that there are a select few people who do actually have an extra chromosome but I highly doubt that's the case with everyone who wants a gender reassignment. I will never understand the transgender mentality. You are what you are. You can have all the surgery you want but your DNA is going to be the same. I can buy a kit to make a Fiero look like a Ferrari but it's still always going to be a Fiero. I'm sure some of these people are very nice individuals but I will never understand the mindset they have.
