I don't know the veracity.
But here's a little background on this story..
21.
On April 19th, 2006 at 4:22 pm, Marge Ballack said: Maj. Witt is a friend of mine. She was close to her 20 year mark and was
going on to become Lt.Col. Witt.

She wasn’t “out of the closet” to anybody other than her closest of
friends and of course her girlfriend, but not to anyone at work. She met
someone and fell in love, crushing her girlfriend.

About 2 months later her C.O. received an unsigned letter accusing
her of being a lesbian. The Air Force terminated her over an anonymous
and unsubstantiated letter.

She contacted an attorney to see if she had any legal recourse. Her
attorney contacted the ACLU who offered to get involved.

We’re all (the LGBT folks in Spokane) behind her and are hitting
the Spokesman Review with letters of support. She’s a very private woman
and is in shock over what’s happening to her. She’s being couragous so
other service people won’t suffer the way she has. The following is my letter
that was in the paper today:

Major Margaret Witt (who was soon to become Lieutenant Colonel
Margaret Witt) served our Nation and cared for our injured military
service people for 19 years. She never identified herself as a “lesbian.”
She did identify herself as a combat nurse. Just one year from her 20
year-mark she was “outed” by an unsigned letter that was sent to her
Superior.
Like Major Witt, a high percentage of care-givers in America are gay.
They work long hours trying to save our loved ones from pain and
suffering. If you were to ask a professional care-giver, “What do you
do for a living?” not one of them would respond with, “I’m Gay.” A
person’s sexuality is not their identity.
Sexuality is no more ‘chosen’ by homosexuals then heterosexuals;
heterosexuals aren’t attracted to homosexuals and visa-versa. I would
ask Tom Frisque when he first identified himself as a practicing hetero-
sexual? I have never practiced being a lesbian; most of us don’t need
to practice.
If I were in a foxhole with anyone, my concern would be about their
marksmanship, not with who they loved.
As my dear old mother used to say, “A fox smells his own hole first.”
Now it makes sense.

On April 24th, 2006 at 11:10 pm, Pat McChesney said: The person Major Witt fell in love with was my wife of 23 years and mother to three of my children. Major Witt is amoral. She wrote declarations against me in the divorce proceedings to attempt to separate me from my minor child without ever mentioning her adulterous relationship with my wife. Her declaration is signed under penalty of perjury to tell the truth, THE WHOLE TRUTH and nothing but the truth. What kind of person has an affair with a heterosexual married women while befriending the family, then writes a declaration againse the husband of the women she had an affair with without mentioning this fact? It would be the same circumstance if the rapist, still unknown to the rape victim, testified in court that the rape victim was promiscious in order to discredit her (or him).
My wife was also her direct subordinate in a taxpayer funded entity.
The letter to the Air Force was not unsigned, anonymous or unsubstantiated.

Maj. Margaret Witt can no longer report for duty - The Carpetbagger Report
This may explain why her discharge was dishonorable. It seems she was not only against DADT but also the adultery and fraternization. She ain't coming back if this is true.

If this is true, you still wanna pledge your support for THIS lady.
