Manning's capability to taunt his jailers indicates his mental health is not a problem, thus undercutting accusations of deterioration due to, uh, torture. Standing nude, being gazed by beefy guards, is not all that bad. Manning has accomplished his life's wet dream, and for that he is to be pedestaled iconically. There remains the always auto-mesmerzing issue of masturbation, according to Jean Genet the favorite prison and military and collegiate activity (inside and outside family colonies), and its near endlessly variable attraction and repulsion of the jailers, as watchers, as cheerleaders, as participants, as connoisseurs of welcomely forbidden pleasures of sadism and masochism. That the brig is headed by a female Marine ratchets up the auto-stimulation to Nurse Ratchet's castrating diabolism, the Society for Cutting Up Men coming out of the bitch-hatchetry. Soon, the society of BGLT hackers and leakers, so to speak, will come out. Genet, and gobs of others, averred there is nothing to compare with the military for pansexuality perversity except the Church. Children preferred. Childlike adults delectable substitutes. Bradass87, bare assed and loving it, you couldn't make this up for a Cuckoo Nest flic. So how many of the Manning guards are female, gay, tranny -- pansexual hornism a given? Prepare to kill and die priapically, fuck mud Gyrenes!
