    "He was by all accounts unhappy and isolated. Because of the army's "Don't ask, don't tell" policy (known as DADT, which was repealed in September 2011), he was not allowed to be openly gay, though he apparently made no secret of it; his friends said he kept a fairy wand on his desk."

    CNN) -- WikiLeaks source Bradley Manning intends to begin hormone therapy for gender reassignment and live the rest of his life as a woman, according to a statement from him read on NBC's "Today" show Thursday.
    Manning wants to be referred to as Chelsea -- not Bradley -- according to the statement.
    Manning's announcement comes a day after a military judge sentenced him to 35 years in prison for leaking hundreds of thousands of U.S. military and diplomatic documents.
    Manning, 25, was convicted in July of stealing 750,000 pages of classified documents and videos and disseminating them to WikiLeaks, the online anti-secrecy group. Lind also reduced his rank from private first class to private, ordered him to forfeit pay and benefits and be dishonorably discharged.

    I believe it was mentioned on one of the TV news shows that the Government is expected to pay for HIS "change".
    What a huge pile of if that is true.

    Things like that have been traditionally paid for by the prison system. Several inmates have sued and won for their right to be changed, or for other taxpayer supported surgeries, medications, and other frivolous things.
    “Every good citizen makes his country's honor his own, and cherishes it not only as precious but as sacred. He is willing to risk his life in its defense and is conscious that he gains protection while he gives it.” Andrew Jackson

    A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'

    That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.

    That pisses me off so bad. There was a case in Washington state where a guy threatened Obama just so he could go to prison and get some sort of surgery that he wanted but could not afford.

    Hoping it will be different since being a military prisoner he is still subject to UCMJ until his release.
