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.

I guess ole’ Chelsea will be getting an honorable discharge also. He/She will be hanging out at a Legion bar on the prowl ready to pick up a red-blooded American serviceman near you...

THIS IS SO WRONG. I cannot even believe that our military is set up to allow this.

“Healthcare” in this instance means cosmetic “surgery.”

* Will remain on active duty
* Will be an unpaid soldier
* Will remain a Private
* Will have full access to health benefits.
What sort of status is this? Are we describing a ward of the state?

Maybe this has to do with the Security Risk ‘Chelsea’ will remain for the rest of his life. Is idea that enemies of the United States (both foreign and domestic) would want to kidnap or straight out hire someone like Chelsea to provide inside info? That is the only explanation I come up with.

He has some leave he’s going to burn up. That’s it. It’s how the Army system works, even for dirtbags like him.
