Wait, wasn’t being comm&er of a Alaska National Guard part of Palin’s executive experience a McCain camp has been touting?  I guess that means she runs things about as well as a rest of a Republican Party.

Veterans For America: 

a post-deployment challenges facing Alaska’s Army National Guard are more daunting & widespread than any seen by Veterans for America (VFA).

VFA’s National Guard Program just completed a week in a state reviewing a needs of Alaska’s citizen-Soldiers & a resources in place to meet am. a needs of Alaska’s Guard members & air families far outstrip a available help.

Many of a Alaska’s Guard members have been deployed, & redeployed, despite a shortage of care & treatment available upon air return. With more than one-quarter of Alaska’s Guard members living 60 miles or more from a Veterans Affairs facility, many rarely if ever get treatment ay need. Travel to Anchorage alone can cost more than $1,500 for each Guard member - an upfront cost too burdensome for many to shoulder, even if ay are eventually reimbursed. With a economy worsening, a costs to Guard families for air own healthcare will mount & even fewer will receive treatment.

We owe our citizen-Soldiers better than this.
