Remember Bradley (now "Chelsea") Manning, who leaked government files while in the military and was sentenced to 35 years in prison?  Now she's won the "right" to have gender reassignment surgery and become the woman she was meant to be.  Courtesy of us taxpayers, it seems.
OK, I'm all for transgender rights.  But why does a convicted spy get to have surgery on the government's (our) dime?  I'm baffled.

From which side of the aisle do you think "she" gets most of her support?

...Manning was given permission to proceed with the procedure.  Nothing was said about who will pay for it.  If you don't like it, you can always vote for Trump.  After all, he has vowed to "Make America Straight Again."

The fuckup -in chief could say no to tax payers paying for it, but Obama gets a kick out of pissing away tax dollars

...The article says nothing about the taxpayers paying.  Obama may get a kick out of pissing away tax dollars but with your ancient prostate, you get a kick out of pissing, period.

Chelsea thought she was a whistleblower...still debatable, but if that stated motivation sheds any light on the real reason for her crime, why deny her the operation? Just to make life hell for her? Come on...

Then you wouldn't have looked foolish.  Here's a hint based on what I've learned here: never make a statement or raise a question to which you don't already know the answer.
PS: check the date of the article.  This isn't exactly news.
