Bradley Manning wants to become a female

The military needs, especially for that position, a sound mind. People with anxiety issues or identity crisis' can have an affected judgement.

Call her a her. She believes that she is a woman, respect her identity.

As for why she should have been recalled, I'd imagine there could be a reasonable amount of judgment issues stemming from unsolved gender issues? Maybe?

People undergoing any kind of personal issues are generally considered a poor security risk. Whether it's gender identity, religion, or family trouble, doesn't matter.

I see, that does make sense.

In that case it's a pretty poor defense, saying that they should have taken action before she blew the whistle.
