Would you oppose releasing Bradley Manning now?
I just read that he won't be released until May. This of course comes with a dishonorable discharge and loss of medical benefits. It's my understanding that he's still a guy (no operation yet), but he's been taking hormone treatments on our dime. Should Trump release him now to avoid paying the cost of the procedure?

Trump is on record saying this was a bad move on O's part. In order to get Manning released early, Trump would have to formally commute the sentence.....again, to an earlier date. That would be extremely bad optics for Trump. Making the best of a bad situation means just running out the clock. Manning gets his hormone treatment right up until the day he walks out a free man, but no surgery. Even if Manning had a pre-planned surgery date and sued because it got pushed back as a political move, by the time the case wound up in court, the case would be moot, because Manning would no longer be in the custody of the Army, and the Army would no longer be on the hook for his medical needs.

IMO, Manning should stay incarcerated for the full term.
Unless the "Gender Issue" can be proven to be absolutely life threatening, anything to do with it should be stopped at once. |

Y'all are being mean. I'd be more than happy to perform his gender reassignment.
...someone hand me a bat, I'll drive his junk up to his tonsils. |
