text: As a gay man, I am all for LBGT equality. However I have to agree with this - unless they sign a waiver that they will not submit any of their procedural or other related expenses to TriCare. The military - therefore the taxpayers - were forced to foot the bill for Bradley manning's transition and all the maintenance that goes with it while he was in prison. I don't think that is right. It opens a floodgates that will be tough to close.
