#1 Leavenworth. The next 35 years as a bend over bowling alley for all your cell mates.
he can dig it.

Who vetted this shirley for Security work? But then the Green Berets or whatever apparently ain't what it used to be. Or the Rangers for that matter.
Army, be all you can be.

Probably totally unfair. Butt then you never know, He does wear a beret. And so does Kerry , by the way.

HOW do men like Alexander Haig and John Kerry rise so high in this country? What IS it that raises such men to the top of our government?
Ever ask yourself questions like that?

For that matter what about Obama and men like John Edwards, the Breck Boy. Men of real achievement and fine character. REAL leaders. Men you want alongside you in a tight place.

#2 Bend over is much more unlikely at the USDB where control is in effect. The inmates don't run the floor there. IIRC the inmate to guard ratio exceeds what you'll find at most civilian lock ups. Also, no sense of humor or distractions. Remember this article is based upon what supposedly Manning told his/her lawyer. Manning is still going through processing and classification at this point and is not among the general population or daily routine. Denial is not a river in Egypt.

Their ambition is all personal.

#6 3 to 4 weeks indoc for prison? I only got 9 for the USN, and a real job.
How hard can it be to get up, commute 3 feet to the bars, grab the tray of slop, commute 3 feet to the bed to eat, then repeat to get the dishes done?? do that 3x/day plus the overbearing stress of havng to fight the masses to the exercise yard for 1 hour / day.
I see real budget savings in the prison indoc department.

#11 Ever since that pic with the wig showed up , whenever I read a Manning article, "Rocky Raccoon" starts playing, ".... but everyone knew her as Bradley." Make it stop.

#12 What galls me over this is how the NYT et al. are tripping over themselves to give in to Manning's ~~request~~ demand to be named Chelsea and referred to as "she".

I can demand everyone address me as Lord High Master of All That I Survey, but nobody will listen to me. Why not?

Because the name doesn't really fits you. Now, if you asked people to call you Gwendolyn...
