Is this an example of Palin's sterling leadership qualities? Open pandering to weak people for support? I wonder how many pounds of "medals" this REMF has on his chest?

"General Campbell's promotion will be a 'state' promotion," he said. "He will be a three-star general only while on State business. In a very rank-conscious environment, this distinction will not be lost on the other Flag Officers. He will look the part of a three-star general but will not be regarded as one by the very people he needs to work with and influence."

"No one can be promoted to the top ranks because of perceived leadership deficiencies but even with his obvious leadership flaws, he has no reluctance whatsoever to accept a cosmetic promotion," he added. "I believe the Governor's office will receive substantial correspondence urging her to reconsider this insult to the men and women of the Alaska National Guard."

  Sarah Palin and her band of merry thieves outrage me. She has no control over her Alaska Guard Generals mainly Campbell. He is definitely what is known as an armychair General. He has NEVER been in war and yet retaliates against certain Guardsmen who serve 2 or more tours in Afghanistan. He is a politician first and foremost and wouldn't know what to do on a battlefield but hide. I am outraged that the National Guard Bureau in D.C. hasn't done something about his ethics. His cronyism is transparent particularly when a Guardsman gets promoted who impregnated a Sergean't wife and she gets an abortion. There is more but it has all been covered up.
