Manning is currently serving a three-decade sentence in prison for his traitorous transfer of confidential and secret information to journalists;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Manning ended a hunger strike begun last week after receiving assurances that the government would provide the surgery, said Chase Strangio, her lawyer and an attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union. Manning&#8217;s doctors recommended in April that she have the male-to-female surgery, Strangio said.<\/p>\n<p>No timeline has been set for her surgery, Strangio said. Manning will meet with her doctors in the next week or two.<\/p>\n<p>Manning sued for access to hormone treatment, and the Army agreed to provide it last year. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This ought to really have a positive effect on readiness. Or maybe not. At this point, who cares? I&#8217;m sure he&#8217;ll soon be pardoned for his transgressions because his lawyer will argue that he&#8217;s not the fellow who committed his crimes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A large number of people have alerted us to the unsurprising news that the Pentagon will &hellip; <a title=\"Manning to get free surgery in return for his selfless service to his country\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=67947\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Manning to get free surgery in return for his selfless service to his country<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":35300,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[177],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-67947","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dumbass-bullshit"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67947","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=67947"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67947\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/35300"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=67947"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=67947"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=67947"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
