Chelsea Manning hit out at lawmakers on Veterans Day on Twitter with her opinion on how to best support former soldiers.

'Want to support veterans?! stop sending us overseas to kill or be killed for your nationalist fairy tales. we can do better,' she tweeted.

The tweet is likely referring to her opinion about the state of the military, which she made clear when she published more than 700,000 classified military and diplomatic documents via Wikileaks in 2013.

The move saw her sentenced to 35 years in prison, which was later commuted to seven years beginning with the date of her arrest by President Obama just days before he left office.

After she was convicted she said she was proud of what she'd done, because she wanted to expose what she considered to be US military's disregard of the effects of war on civilians.

It was her fight to receive hormone treatments while behind bars that earned her a new legion of supporters, with her successful struggle helping to create new precedents and increased access for other incarcerated members of her community.

In September of last year the army announced she would be allowed to undergo gender transition surgery while still incarcerated, six days after she started a hunger strike in protest of their refusal to allow her to have the operation.

'I am unendingly relieved that the military is finally doing the right thing. I applaud them for that. This is all that I wanted – for them to let me be me,' said Chelsea at the time.

She was the first transgender inmate to ever be approved for the surgery.

Chelsea successfully petitioned to have her name changed in 2014, and began hormone therapy in February of the next year.

It marked the first time the Army had allowed the therapy in prison, and they still required that Chelsea keep her hair cut short as per their standards.

Two months after she was approved for hormone therapy, Chelsea wrote about how happy she was in a letter to Amnesty International, which the group posted on their Facebook accounts.
