WASHINGTON, D.C.: General Ronald Fogleman, the Air Force Chief of Staff, asked for early retirement today, raising speculation that Defense Secretary William Cohen has decided to punish Air Force generals in connection with the Khobar Towers bombing. Fogleman, a highly decorated Vietnam War pilot and the 16th Air Force chief of staff, had said he would resign if Cohen held the generals accountable for failing to prevent the June 1996 terrorist blast which killed 19 U.S. airmen. Air Force officials said Fogleman's decision to resign was linked to the defense secretary's anticipated decision, which is expected later this...
...would go after her on the counts of lying to investigators about her affair with Zigo, disobeying a direct order to stop seeing him, and conduct unbecoming an officer--charges the Air Force believed were rock solid. That morning a defiant Air Force Chief of Staff, General Ronald R. Fogleman, had thrown down the gauntlet before a Senate committee in a statement that Spinner claimed poisoned any chance of a fair military trial. "This is not an issue of adultery," Fogleman said. "This is an issue about an officer, entrusted to fly nuclear weapons, who lied. That's what this...
...Flinn court-martial on hold while she considered the request. An honorable discharge was out of the question; there would be practically a mutiny in the senior officer corps if she allowed such blatant favoritism for an officer charged with these offenses.

The Air Force's core values were at stake. Officers...
...52nd Fighter Wing, the outfit that mistakenly downed two U.S. Army helicopters over Iraq in 1994, killing 26 people. The 52nd's commanders had failed to bring the two F-15 pilots to court-martial for their central role in the disaster. That didn't please General Ronald Fogleman, the tough-talking fighter pilot who runs the Air Force. In August 1995 he effectively ended the pilots' careers with letters of condemnation. "We are held in high regard by the public because of the integrity we demonstrate by holding ourselves accountable and others accountable for their actions," Fogleman told...
...wrist became something a little more forceful as the Air Force re-examined the accidental downing of two U.S. Army helicopters over northern Iraq. An earlier Air Force criminal inquiry brought charges against only one officer, and he was acquitted on all counts. A new report by General Ronald Fogleman, the Air Force Chief of Staff, cites two generals for poor judgment and failure to uphold Air Force standards; five airmen were barred from airborne assignments for at least three years. Twenty-six people died in the 1994 "friendly fire" tragedy, including 15 Americans...
