Alaska National Guard General:Palin Plays No Role In National Defense Activities

[Straw Man]

Maj. Gen. Craig Campbell, adjutant general of the Alaska National Guard, considers Palin "extremely responsive and smart" and says she is in charge when it comes to in-state services, such as emergencies and natural disasters where the National Guard is the first responder.

But, in an interview with The Associated Press on Sunday, he said he and Palin play no role in national defense activities, even when they involve the Alaska National Guard. The entire operation is under federal control, and the governor is not briefed on situations.

What on earth are they talking about?   

Don't they realize that Alaska is close to Russia?

That gives her plenty of National Defense Experience!
