Chelsea Manning will remain on active duty following her release from military prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, on May 17, the U.S. Army said Sunday.

Manning will be an unpaid soldier and will be eligible for health care and other benefits, USA Today reported. She will remain a private, Army spokesman Dave Foster told the paper.

“Pvt. Manning is statutorily entitled to medical care while on excess leave in an active duty status, pending final appellate review,” Foster said.

Manning was granted clemency in the final days of the Obama administration. She thanked former President Obama last Tuesday in her first statement since being granted clemency.

There is no surgery that will put a Y-chromosome into your DNA. Bradley manning can dress like a girl and call himself by a girl’s name but the Y-chromosome can’t be changed.

The headline is misleading.

I would have been happy to see his leave cancelled as part of his sentence. I don't know if that was in the purview of the judge or if the Army can do it administratively. But either way, I'm not going to lose sleep over Bradley burning unused leave.

He should have been fired from a cannon, but we seem to have lost our forefathers' robust spirit.

Draining the Swamp requires draining the military swamp , too. Not doing that means we have ultimately a progressively defective Defense.

Makes me glad I’m way too old to serve now even if I wanted to. This is totally disgraceful!
