The Army says former private Chelsea Manning will lose her military healthcare benefits despite President Obama’s commutation of her prison sentence.
“If Pvt. Manning is discharged with a dishonorable discharge, she will lose her entitlement to [military] benefits, including gender-transition care at [military] medical treatment facilities,” Army spokeswoman Cynthia Smith told USA Today Wednesday.
Smith said Manning’s dishonorable discharge was included in the terms of the 35-year prison sentence imposed on her in 2013.
Manning was convicted of leaking classified information about U.S. national security activities that were later publicly disclosed by WikiLeaks.
Smith said Manning could appeal her discharge determination, noting a failed appeal would ultimately result in dishonorable discharge from the Army.
Manning would also be barred from Veterans Affairs (VA) Department benefits under that status, Smith added.
The Army has been providing Manning with treatment for gender dysphoria, USA Today said, including hormone treatments.
Manning was also a candidate for gender-reassignment surgery, it continued, which would have been paid for under the Pentagon’s new policy for transgender troops.
USA Today added the VA, meanwhile, has also provided treatment to veterans struggling with gender dysphoria for several years.
Manning had already served seven years of her prison sentence when the White House announced Obama’s commutation Tuesday.
The former solider was originally scheduled for release in 2045 and will now regain her freedom on May 17, 2017 instead.
Obama defended his decision Wednesday, meanwhile, noting he is satisfied with the severity of Manning’s punishment so far.
“It has been my view given that she went to trial, that due process was carried out, that she took responsibility for her crime,” he said during his final press conference as president.
“[It is] that the sentence that she received was very disproportionate relative to what other leakers had received and that she had served a significant amount of time, that it made sense to commute and not pardon her sentence,” Obama added. "I feel very comfortable that justice has been served.”
Manning, who was initially serving the longest sentence ever imposed for a leak conviction, tried committing suicide twice during her incarceration.

100%
Lorena Bobbitt will handle things, just fine.
Do you mean the hated boy parts or do you mean something higher up?
The BEST part of this disgusting commutation and big F-U to the U.S. public by Odungo is that Bradley won't be able to get his free girly-izing treatment on Uncle Sam's tab. Now he'll have to pay for it himself. Hopefully, this will drive him to a successful suicide instead of screwing it up like he's done before. Can't even kill himself, even with several tries!
Can you imagine his use to any military entity? Maybe as target practice.
Well,there’s always Medicaid.So we get to pay to have his itty,bitty doodle chopped off and his estrogen shots after all.
i think his suicide "attempts" are simply ploys for sympathy and attention that said, maybe he really will give it a real try once there's no more spotlight
LOL! Yep, Lorena provede that.
They probably brainwashed him/her to commit an act of violence and that is why he/she got her/his sentence commuted I am serious.
Heard on Dana Lash that he/she is taking voice lesson to talk more like a girl.
I think the simple fact is that Obama is in love with him/her.
a little quick, but it'd work
They should cut his penis off first.
“He” ought to be billed for his gender whatever treatments, on taxpayer dime.
Oh, poor baby!
I’ll be more than happy to give him a boxcutter and a lead bullet to bite down on while he removes the last vestiges of his manhood.
Don’t you just hurl whenever this homosexual male in a dress and wig is called “her?”
A Remington 870 with some 00 buckshot would do the trick too.
BWAHAHAHAHA
Why are articles referring to this man as a ‘she’. News is supposed to promote truth—and there is no way that man can ever be a “she”.
This Marxist destruction of the meaning of words is how they have flipped Good and Evil. We can’t allow the destruction of our Language so that all traditions and history can be revised and destroyed and eliminated “for the children”. The children are being made stupid so they can’t even tell if someone is a man or woman-—basic truth/basic science.!!!! And that is the point of the Germans in 1800s—the homosexuals who formed the boy scouts in Germany so he could seduce and rape all the young males.
This warping and corrupting children with this irrational Marxist “gender” cr*0 has to END!!!!! Reason and Logic and Virtue depend on it.
They want to create a worldview in little children which is totally removed from Reality (and Truth (God)) so Slavery is Freedom , Up is Down and Boys are Girls. In radical egalitarianism there can be no differences, no identity, no biological connections, so people will not love their offspring and care about them. Marxism destroys the Natural family and ALL natural instincts in children by conditioning and brainwashing.
I know.... Because not one bit of their “condition” is service connected.
He could start a gofundme thingie and collect a million in donations in a few days.... he’s a hero to many folks.
