Idle thoughts about Chelsea Manning

Not that I intend in any way to argue with the US Army justice system, but if one looks at the latest developments soberly, should this girl pay for the sins of some male private?


It hurts. But what hurts me especially is that I wouldn't be able to use this picture for comparison to the transformed private anymore:
Too bad.

He/she has enough time to decide now.

The way things are going these days they might even have a transition prison, for inmates trying to decide whether to be women or horses, where he can spent some of his alleged 35 years. I say alleged because I have no faith in such sentences. Ten or less would be my guess.

I read that s/he is eligible for parole in 15 years, so s/he will get out at 40.

That's the official version, dutifully reported without comment by the snooze media. Official versions have a way of changing for things like relieving prison overcrowding. Especially for non-violent offenders like him But only time will tell.

So be it. Julian Assange, with some assistance from Ms Manning has done a lot of damage, so I am not pining for Bradleys' release.
