This is going to be very interesting. I do wish her luck.
"Manning’s opponent in the Democratic Party primary is one of the most standard, banal, typical, privileged and mediocre politicians in the U.S. Congress: Benjamin Cardin, a 74-year-old white, straight man who is seeking his third six-year Senate term. Cardin’s decades-long career as a politician from the start has been steeped in unearned privilege: he first won elective office back in 1966, when his uncle, Maurice Cardin, gave up his seat in order to bequeath it to his nephew Benjamin. With this dynastic privilege as his base, he has spent the last 50 years climbing the political ladder in Maryland."

Regardless of how one feels about transgender people from any objective point of view Manning would be a TERRIBLE choice for an elected official. Someone who stole classified information and then gave it to wikileaks just for the attention. A convicted felon who betrayed their country and fellow soldiers and then (successfully) used being supposedly transgender as an excuse for their actions.
To even consider voting for such a detestable person just because they would be the "the first transgender person" in office is a terrible reason. Surely the LGBT community can find someone else who might actually make a good elected official.

On July 30, 2013, Judge Lind issued her findings regarding the charges. Bradley Manning was acquitted of aiding the enemy by knowingly giving out intelligence through indirect means, and was convicted of 19 of the 21 or 22 specified charges, including theft and six counts of espionage. Is this the kind of person we want in the Senate. I don't live in Connecticut but if I did I would launch my own campaign to defeat him/her/it You can put lipstick on a traitor but he's still a traitor. Bradley/Chelsea Manning is still a traitor.

But the military is NOT a democracy. When we join we agree to give up some of our rights while serving. She obviously doesn’t understand service before self. She should have gotten out then written a book.

SSG Diane R. - I do not remember the specific number of documents Manning released. I believe it was in the 100's of thousands. Do you believe there was a qualitative analysis done by Manning. Did he (at the time, he) make any effort to ensure what was released was for some greater good, or was he an unhappy soldier, lashing out; with no concern or regard for the price that others might pay for his temper tantrum.
Of the two houses, the Senate is supposed to be the slower more deliberative body.

I say to myself sometimes, "If I was at Kent State, would I have fired?". May each of us never have to be given that order and look ourselves in the mirror, knowing we did the wrong thing. I don't know if Manning did the right thing or not. I guess we will have to wait another decade for hindsight to decide.

Why on earth would you wish him luck, knowing his history? As usual (and this isn't aimed at you SSgt), extremist liberals think he's entitled to the position simply because he's trans.

SFC Jim Ruether - A paradigm is a worldview, a way of understanding things, a set of commonly understood rules, something like that.
