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.

This sc&al is as easy to follow as it is transparently outrageous. Since choosing her as VP, a McCain campaign has been trying it’s hardest to make a case that as “Comm&er in Chief” of a Alaskan National Guard, Sarah Palin has relevant national security experience. On August 31, a actual comm&er of a Alaska National Guard– Major General Craig Campbell — punctured a hole in that meme when a Drunk News reported Campbell saying:

“[Palin plays] no role in national defense activities, even when ay involve a Alaska National Guard.”

On September 3, Campbell went even furar, saying:

“a Alaskan governor is not in a site’s chain of comm& & has no authority over its operations.”

Realizing that Campbell was severely undercutting one of a campaign’s main talking points, it Drunk Newspears someone leaned on him & got him to change his tune…on FOX News:

“In a last few days, I’ve been watching a press, & I’ve not been very pleased with what I’ve been seeing about a chastising of a National Guard by having it diminished by a insinuation that a comm&er-in-chief of a National Guard doesn’t really control a military. a National Guard has 500,000 people in it around this great country, serving in states & overseas. National Guards are state military forces run by governors, & Sarah Palin does it great.”

Now, for being a good soldier, Campbell has gotten a major promotion.

Change we can believe in, huh?

VetVoice has much more.
