Air Force Maj. Margaret Witt, right, an Air Force Reserve flight nurse who sued to overturn her dismissal under the ban on gays serving openly in the military, leaves a news conference Tuesday in Seattle. Witt said Tuesday she is retiring with full benefits rather than resuming service, after a federal judge ruled last fall that her dismissal failed to advance any legitimate military goals and violated her constitutional rights.
