Homosexual Army soldier Bradley Manning’s bizarre behavior, which included calling himself “Breanna” and dressing in women’s clothes, might be expected to lead some in the media to question whether Congress should have repealed the policy banning open homosexuality in the military.
(My emphasis)
Its not just Gay rights that the LGBT community is fighting for and has been fighting for.
It is LGBT - Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual AND
Transgender people.
Bradley/Breanna is Transgendered - Get over it, S/he deserves the same open policy of the new Military as Gays and Lesbians.
This is like us saying Bisexuals can easily hide, they don't have to act out on their 'gay' side. Or Lesbians shouldn't be in the military because they are women.
Quote:(snip) Rules of Disengagement: The Politics and Honor of Military Dissent, which argues that U.S. military personnel should disobey orders and refuse to participate in “illegal wars” such as Iraq and Afghanistan.
The Bradley Manning Support Network is asking that funds for his defense be funneled to “Courage to Resist,” a group which supports “the troops who refuse to fight” in U.S. wars. It also sells a book by the title of Army of None.
If this is indeed the case we need more like him.
The War in Iraq was based on lies. There were no f-ing Weapons of Mas Destruction. It was a lie - a fabrication that the Bush Administration used to justify an
illegal war.
Bush, Cheney and the rest of the gang are War Criminals - Criminals - as in they broke laws in order to make that war happen. Bush should have been impeached and he and his administration investigated and held accountable by the laws of the USA for criminal actions.
Instead, We the People let is slide.
Interestingly enough, an administration before had sex - consenting sex, with an aide and it was ground enough for him to be impeached?
We the People are f-ed up in the head - badly. We are so terrified of sex but have no problem with illegal wars.
This is just more of the same line of thinking, let us instead focus on the 'bizarre' sexual behaviors of the man instead of his logical stance that the war is illegal. Because, Lord Forbid, We the People have to answer to the rest of the world why it is we allowed Criminals to murder thousands of people in Iraq.
Shame on US.
