Why a tattooed, gun-loving 67-year-old Nebraska Army vet now fights for trans rights

BEATRICE — Matt Bogle played macho for decades, going from a small-town upbringing in Fairbury to street life in Kansas City. Then to rappelling out of helicopters in the Army, fighting for gun rights in California, riding motorcycles across the open highway and settling down with a wife.
A thick-lined and crudely-shaped stick-and-poke shoulder tattoo reading "FTW" embodied Bogle's approach to life.
Bogle said the ink meant different things at different times.
Fire that weapon.
