By week two everybody knew that, lived it and lived with it. Everyone, except Manning.

Everyone knows that.

His days were numbered, and everybody knew to steer clear of him. That is, everyone but …

I think what pisses me off the most is he keeps calling it "she".

That's what pisses me off as well.  He's a HE, he's always been a HE and he'll always BE a HE.

f**king political correctness bullsh*t.

Just my guess here. As this was written my a military man, all the references to "she" and "her" and "Chelsea" are dripping with scorn and derision. I don't think the writer was trying to be politically correct on this one . . .
The problems we face today are there because the people who work for a living
are outnumbered by those who vote for a living.

Yeah I dunno BigAl...it reads to me like a factual report...maybe I'm missing some nuance but I don't think so...the only time I read anything smacking of scorn and derision is in tag lines like "everyone but", the use of gender was applied in a linear way...but maybe I am missing something...
