Maybe for the same reason I know it--

If she turned in someone else's work as her own, it doesn't matter WHY she did it. Spurned boyfriend messing with her computer is a reason to turn HIM in to the honor board, not to lie about her assignment.

I see a lot of attempts to rationalize, but nowhere do I see the words "It was my own work. I drew it myself. The accusations are false.". That's rather central to her guilt or innocence, don't you think? Instead I hear about how her dreams of graduation were shattered and how she didn't drink before she was 21. What does that have to do with whether she completed her assignment herself?

As a graduate of that fine institution I have a great respect for the honor code and board which enforces it. If the USAF saw fit to overturn the recommendations of the board, I have to assume they saw reason to do so.

Perhaps in this case, it is because we are innocent until proven guilty and she wasn't proven guilty. The board's process was severely flawed in not producing her accuser and an exhonerating witness.

Your calls of "liar" and "I know she did it" without any further knowledge of this case than this article are insulting. Even cadets on an honor board can railroad someone. Since very few are ever overturned by the USAF, and this one was, I have to assume the USAF saw a railroading and righted it.

I am confused, though, as to why she was put in the reserves rather than active duty. My guess is this was done to preclude her hasty withdrawal from her current course of study.

Note: see how I proferred my guess with a hedge? You guys should try it rather than spouting guesses as fact.
