My wife ran it out of fluid while I was in Iraq, Now I can't seem to get it to work. The pedal just sinks to the floor.

Yes. All hydraulic clutches are bleedable.
Some are more difficult than others. You may need a vacuum pump/brake bleeder.
If you elect to do it by hand, obviously you will have to pick up the pedal by hand.
SOME hydraulic clutches are not possible to bleed by hand, only with vacuum pump and some are so easy, you can virtually gravity bleed them.
Usually reservoir is TINY and you don't want to run out while bleeding, so check every 3 pumps.
Fix the leak first too.

It can be done, however it will require a special bleed procedure. If you have a fax machine, you can call 888-819-5681 and request document 3550. It is an automated service, just listen to the prompts and request 3550, then key in your fax number and it will be sent to you.

Well if you have to bleed it then there is a leak, most likely slave cylinder and if you just bleed it you'll get stuck again, you have to replace, depending on whether you have an internal or external slave cylinder, it may be easy or you may need to remove trans for an internal cylnder

Bleed the brakes not the clutch.

Your factory slave may not have a bleeder. Get a replacement with a bleeder

It's a hydrolic clutch so yes you can bleed it. You will do the same as if you are bleeding the brakes
