As reported here

Chelsea Manning, the transgender Army private convicted of leaking national security secrets, faces a hearing Tuesday for prison infractions that could result in solitary confinement.

Manning, who was intelligence analyst Bradley Manning when arrested in 2010, is charged with disrespect of a prison officer and is accused having books and magazines including Vanity Fair and Cosmopolitan, among other offenses.

Noteable from the article, it is apparently "disrespect of an officer" to request a lawyer.

    Manning, on the other hand, used his "gender confused" status as a weapon against his brothers in arms.

    This is an opinion.

    ...before turning traitor

    This is presenting something as fact that hasn't been established in what is commonly agreed to be a fair trial.

    Should we go on a bit further? You basically write "TRAITOR TRAITOR TRAITOR TRAITOR TRAITOR TRAITOR TRAITOR LALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU TRAITOR TRAITOR TRAITOR TRAITOR TRAITOR!"

    You take the position that Manning is a traitor, and therefore is a traitor.

    How about you do us all a favour, and re-enlist, that way we won't have to hear you say "TRAITOR TRAITOR TRAITOR TRAITOR TRAITOR TRAITOR" until you feel we're all convinced.

    but he didn't. as much as i'd like to support manning on his crusade, there may be some things we aren't seeing.

    read his comments again, his outbursts of traitor are mostly emotional, but he does provide some solid arguments for it (unfortunate that he didn't have any supporting links for it though)
