Chelsea Manning has been freed from the Fort Leavenworth military prison, according to a US Army spokesperson:
In January she tweeted that she wanted to move to Maryland after being released, a state where she previously lived. On Monday she tweeted: "Two more days until the freedom of civilian life ^_^ Now hunting for private #healthcare like millions of Americans =P".
Manning will remain on active army duty while her military court conviction remains under appeal. She will have healthcare benefits but will be unpaid, the army says. An online campaign set up by her attorney has raised $150,000 (£115,725) to pay for her living expenses for the first year after her release. If the appeal is denied, she could be dishonourably discharged from the army, US media say.

Oh, my bad. You're the resident psyche-chiatrist, or something like that. You mostly read minds, and when you can't do that, you analyze everything until it fits into your own world view. After all, it would be unethical or something like that just to take a sentence at face value.
Get a life, girl. It's not all about you, it's not all drama, and you don't have the answers to Life, the Universe, and Everything.
Since I'm feeling generous right now, I'll GIVE you the answer. https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/history/42-the-answer-to-life-the-universe-and-everything-2205734.html [independent.co.uk]
