	Kelly Flinn
		Lieutenant Kelly Flinn was the first female B-52 pilot, and the subject of a media circus involving sexual discrimination within the Air Force, born 23 December 1970, in St.
		On 29 June 1989 Flinn was accepted by both the United States Air Force Academy and the Naval Academy, with nominations from Senator Sam Nunn and Congressman Buddy Darden, choosing to enter the air force as a member of the Class of 1993.
		Later that October, Flinn was a delegate to the 1995 Defense Advisory Committee on Women in the Service conference at Luke AFB, she spoke to several national military leaders, including the Air Force Chief of Staff and the Secretary of the Air Force on policies in the Air Force concerning women in combat.

		Similarly, Flinn's supporters argued that she was scarcely the only adulterer in the Air Force, as though the mere commonness of an infraction of the UCMJ constituted good and sufficient moral reason to legitimate that behavior.
		Flinn's demonstrated lack of integrity and her disobedience left Secretary Widnall no choice but to deny her request for an honorable discharge (which would have allowed her to continue to fly for the Air National Guard) in lieu of court martial and a possible 9 1/2 year prison term.
		Flinn's insistence that regulations governing the moral behavior of military personnel with which she did not wish to comply should be changed is an old, old recipe for tragedy.

		Unquestionably, the court-martial and cashiering of Kelly Flinn is tragic.
		But it is not, for Kelly Flinn did engage in misconduct "unbecoming an officer." Not only did she commit adultery with a civilian married to an Air Force enlistee.
		When Flinn and her lawyer demanded an honorable discharge, implying that, if it were not granted, they would go through with a court-martial at which the Air Force would be pilloried, they were playing hardball.

		Flinn's coping skills were never well developed, and her lack of worldly knowledge made her even less equipped to deal with the constant harassment and unblinking hatred and resentment she continually faced.
		Flinn discusses the utter failure of both the Academy and its cadets to incorporate the spirit of the rules and regulations rather than instilling and enforcing the letter of the law in a blind, mindless adherence to an honor code that is anything but honorable.
		Flinn did, indeed, receive special treatment for she was continually being hauled out of class for photo opportunities and interviews which prevented her from completing her duties and in general guaranteed that she would be subject to extremes of resentment and hatred.

		Flinn was accused of having an affair with a married civilian, Marc Zigo, lying about it to investigators and disobeying an order to end it.
		In her interview, Flinn reasserted that Zigo was to blame for her downfall and said Zigo's ex-wife, Airman Gayla Zigo, was a victim of her ex-husband, not of Flinn.

	Scarlet Letters--August 1997
		Flinn minimizes the disparity of her own rank and Airman Zigo's because they were in different units.
		Selection of the Flinn case as a feminist issue is insulting, not only to the Air Force but also to Air Force women who take their responsibilities seriously and whose service is a credit to themselves and to the force.
		In the long run, misrepresenting the Kelly Flinn affair does not even work to the advantage of the cause advocates who have made it a rallying point, because it does not add up to much unless the facts are manipulated and sensationalized.

		Flinn knowingly broke this rule and abused her power as a superior officer when she had a casual affair with an enlisted man before she embarked on the more serious affair with Marc Zigo, a civilian living with his junior enlisted wife.
		Flinn's commanding officer then learned of the affair and ordered her to stay away from the married Zigo -- the slap on the wrist that her defenders insist was a sufficient rebuke.
		But when Trent Lott declared that Kelly Flinn was "being badly abused," he sounded -- perhaps inadvertently -- a warning that no wives will be courted by the GOP next year as soccer moms were courted by all parties last year.

		Kelly Flinn was the first female to fly one of these admirable killing machines, and the Air Force publicity machine created a gender equality poster girl that was used as forcefully as a Tailhook cover up.
		What is most fascinating about the Kelly Flinn story is how clearly and glaringly it depicts the chasm that exists between military policy and military culture.
		When Kelly Flinn faced the hypocrisy of former Air Force Secretary Sheila Widnall, Secretary of Defense, William Cohen and other military brass after the allegations of her adultery surfaced, there was an almost across-the-board willingness to dismiss the adultery charges.

		The handling of the Flinn case is another demonstration of the retreat by the Clinton administration from the long-standing democratic principle of subordination of the military to civilian authority, which began with Clinton's cave-in to the Joint Chiefs of Staff in 1993 over the ban on gays in the military.

		Kelly's position required the emotional maturity and stamina to work at a base where her pilot peers had wives, but she did not.
		Ralston's case was completely different from that of Kelly Flinn's (she was guilty of fraternization, disobedience and perjury), but the difference was lost under the feminists' tirades.

		As depicted by the stories, the first of which appeared on April 28, Flinn, a high-profile, outstanding airwoman who once flew a plane for the Air Force secretary, was being court-martialed for committing adultery with the spouse of an enlisted person, a man who had lied to her about his marital status.
		As her case evolved, much of the reporting was overly sympathetic to Flinn, understated the severity of the charges against her and painted the military justice system in the worst possible light as an unfair, faceless bureaucracy intent on rooting out illicit sexual behavior.
		Flinn says she believed Zigo when he told her that he was legally separated from his wife.

		The facts, as of this writing, appear to be that Flinn was involved in not one but two sexual indiscretions, first with an enlisted man and then with the husband of a fellow airwoman.
		Second, Flinn was not entirely truthful in saying she had no idea the latter man was married: If she didn't know it at first coitus, she surely did shortly thereafter but pursued the affair anyhow.
		Third, Flinn lied outright to her superiors in denying the relationship was sexual.

		Flinn said she made "mistakes" and "errors in judgment" and that she only wished "that someone in my chain of command would have asked what was happening in my life."
