Are we out of our mind? This person is a traitor and should not be receiving anything her jail-time is up. She can have her surgery but I dont think she should be getting any benefits from the government.

Let's calm down as this is the process. Manning got free healthcare and food in prison too. Note the excerpt:
""Pvt. Manning is statutorily entitled to medical care while on excess leave in an active duty status, pending final appellate review," a military spokesperson said.
Manning will be assigned to an Army post but it's unclear where and in what role. She will remain a private and have access to commissaries but will not be paid, pending the appeal of her court martial conviction. If that's upheld and she's dishonorably discharged, she would lose those privileges as well as health care benefits through the military."

There shouldn't be a process Maj Kevin "Mac" McLaughlin as he was already afforded due process. He sold his country out and he should have suffered the consequences while the former CIC saw fit to sell us out and pardon him.

Once again... "pending the appeal of her court martial conviction. If that's upheld and she's dishonorably discharged, she would lose those privileges as well as health care benefits through the military."
Manning has not been discharged yet. This is no different than any other military case with an appeal pending. I hardly think Manning is using those medical benefits all that much anyway.

WHY IN THE HELL???!!!! Are they not shooting this ass-clown or having his pardon revoked? I know, I know...the pardon cant be changed, but still.

Manning's appeal is still pending. Obama only commuted the sentence, a successful appeal could overturn the conviction. It won't, but until all the appeals are done, the conviction's not final, and Manning is technically entitled to medical benefits.

Should be a dishonorable discharge the court martial should be a clear sign of that. She did get a Judicial Punishment not an Article 15
