true story. Picture it. San Vito Air Station, Italy, 1988. Two young staff Sergeants. These two ladies are roommates. Both are Russian Linguists working at the base. For whatever reason, someone decided that the little air station had not had any real scandals recently, and began a witch hunt. There were more service members involved, but I only personally knew the 2 women, so I wont comment on any of the others. One of these airmen had been airman of the quarter 3 times, in the previous year, and had just recently been declared airman of the year. Her military record was exemplary, and every review she had received had been glowing in every respect. The other woman, while not quite the perfect airman as the first, had never been in trouble, and performed her duties admirably. Someone thought that maybe these two young ladies were a tad closer than simple roommates. Accusations were made, inquiries were made..In the end, both ladies were forced out of the military, and the air force lost 2 russian linguists at a time when this was a shortage career field. Someone please explain to me, how this was GOOD for the military? Tell me how it is EVER good to force out good, honest, hard working people?
