Sarah Palin - Commander of Alaska National Guard

Well, maybe not so much. What has the Alaska National Guard done under Palins command authority?
Occasions in which Palin retains command authority over the 4,200-member Alaska National Guard are whenever the Guard responds to in-state natural disasters and civic emergencies, said Campbell, who also serves as the commissioner of the state Department of Military and Veterans Affairs.

Some examples?

"We've deployed individuals in state service all over the state under Sarah Palin," he said. “We had defense men down in Seward for the (Mount) Marathon run doing security.

"Out west and northwest we had erosion problems, and the National Guard was involved in some of the protection out there. About three days ago, the Army National Guard picked up a lady from Little Diomede (Island) . . . at the request of state troopers."


Want to see a classic example of political hackery, comparing Sarah Palin with Barack Obama (oops, excuse me Barack Hussein Obama)? Just go here. A post like that is done out of either desperation, ignorance, laziness, or just out and out lying.
