NY Times article

The story of this solider is the kind of stuff Hollywood would usually make up but sadly is true.

Any Military O-Ts out there who have thoughts on the sentence being commuted?

Is it tacit endorsement of Assange and wikileaks? By the outgoing POTUS?

I think so. I don't have a strong opinion either way at this point.

It does raise some interesting questions in light of all the "Red Scare" going on.

I mean I'm all for equal right and what not but this dude is a traitor to the Military. He took an oath. What's next? We can not really know the extent of the link.

Edward Snowden is a whole different issue. He will definitely be black bagged and never seen again if he comes forward.

He'll probably get a movie deal out of it. They'll tell his story of his "struggle" as a poor tranny in the military.

I don't know the details of this stuff. Just the broad strokes. I probably should have followed it closer. Anyway, didn't some pretty nefarious stuff done by our military or allegedly so at least get released by this guy? Some people might argue that it was someone's responsibility to blow the whistle on this stuff. You can get into some pretty murky ethical waters here.

Anyway, I don't really have much of an opinion on this stuff. It's pretty strange.

The problem is he released everything he found and put lives in danger.

I don't care. He's been punished and his life is a shambles and he's not a threat. Obama needs to do this with all federal inmates serving time for marijuana crimes.

Like Reagan having members of Al Quaeda (Taliban) over to the White House years ago? Just admit it. It's all about race to people like you.

So soldiers can get arrested for being transgender now? This is Trump's new America I guess....

Who cares if he's transgender? Sounds like you have some sexual insecurities

Nope just think that played a part in Obamas decision. If he's still a man Obama doesn't care.
