Bradley Manning reveals his secret.

Bradley Manning announced that he is now she and wishes to be called Chelsea and be given hormone treatments while in prison.

In response, the following statement was released by Pentagon spokesperson, Pfc. Gomer Pyle: "SHAZAM...GOLLY...SUURPRISE, SUURPRISE, SUURPRISE!!!!"

The choice of the name Chelsea is being seen by some military strategists as a Machiavellian move to win favor and a pardon from future U.S. Presidents Hillary and Chelsea Clinton.

That theory seems to be stretch. I believe Manning is simply being true to herself. If she was choosing a name to get the President to grant a pardon, she would've chosen Michelle, Sasha, Malia or Sunny.
