... Manning, 27, “feels like a freak and a weirdo – not because having short hair makes a person <any> less of a woman – but because for her, it is undermines specifically recommended treatment and sends the message to everyone that she is not a 'real' woman,†the suit notes.
“Plaintiff fears that if her treatment regimen continues to be undermined due to Defendants’ refusal to allow her to follow female hair and grooming standards, her anguish will only escalate and she will not be able to survive the 35 years of her sentence, let alone the next few years.â€
The suit names the Department of Defense, Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter and several top Army officials in charge of Manning’s prison term as defendants. A Defense Department spokesman declined to comment on the lawsuit, citing agency policy not to comment on pending litigation ...

1. Manning needs to be pardoned.
I got no doubt Barry has a whole list of people he is going to pardon at the last minute.

13. Anger management may help you.
Just saying, you come on unnecessarily harsh.
Have a lovely day.
Go **** yourself, twinkle-toes.

14. She's a woman, forcing her to get a man's haircut is discrimination.
Just because she's a prisoner doesn't mean she deserves inhumane treatment.
Your lack of empathy for a transgender woman seems better suited for another website.
Sorry. He's a guy. Guys have to follow the guy grooming standards from the military. still.

12. Stop referring to her as a man!

The article specifically refers to Manning as a woman, why do you insist on calling her a man?
Transphobia doesn't belong on DU.
He's a man.

18. A pardon, and perhaps a Presidential Medal of Freedom, would best serve America's interests.
Why not a parade too?

19. They are treating her cruelly for the sake of cruelty. Obama should pardon her on his
last day or at least commute her sentence to a woman's prison.
Why wait until his last day, DUmmy? If it's the right thing to do Barry should just go ahead and pardon him right now, give him the Medal of Freedom, and throw him a ticker tape parade.
A presidential pardon may be granted at any time, however, and as when Ford pardoned Nixon, the pardoned person need not yet have been convicted or even formally charged with a crime
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pardon
The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_Two_of_the_United_States_Constitution#Clause_1:_Command_of_military.3B_Opinions_of_cabinet_secretaries.3B_Pardons
There's nothing in there about having to wait until the last day. So if it's such a great idea, why not just go ahead and do it?

Delmar, maybe Obola can throw in five murderous terrorists in Guantanamo to sweeten the deal. Oh wait, he already released all of them! :censored:

Remind me once again how having a S/H/IT like this whiny little drama queen who divulged THOUSANDS of pages of classified documents on what amounted to a temper tantrum made us more combat effective? I'm not holding my breath waiting for an answer, because I already know it DIDN'T!

Well, the little freak finally got something sort of right.

Presidential Medal of Freedom? For what? He gave secrets to Wiki leaks. Even the 0bama administration wasn't thrilled. It would serve the benefit to no one but you ****ing idiots.

Speaking as a real woman, I wouldn't **** that thing with someone's ten foot pole. :-)

Until the plumbing is changed, you folks are just pimping for partiarchy, and supporting white male privilege.

The women's hair may be no shorter than one-quarter inch from the scalp, but may be evenly tapered to the scalp within two inches of the hair line edges, according to AR 670-1.

Now Karin, as Oz has mentioned, one man's junk, is an other man's treasure.
Tthe term "junk", implies value. What's between their legs has no value, therefore, not junk.
It's best thought of as a piddlepipe extention, a mosquito of maleness which needs to be sliced off.
