Description: For most of his 31 years, Army Captain Matthew Clinch lived with a secret that was slowly tearing him apart. Married with two young daughters, this 10-year veteran is a decorated war hero. But then he did something far more courageous than combat - he admitted to his wife he wanted to be a woman. That was just the beginning of his battle against the Army, his comrades and his own Mum. Rahni Sadler meets the incredible family standing by Captain Bridget. This story originally aired in 2010.
