A member of the Michigan National Guard made his first appearance in federal court late last month after authorities say he quietly collected his full pay and allowances for more than two years after resigning from full-time Guard status and reverting to part-time service.
Staff Sgt. Clayton H. Mitsui Jr. remains a member of the Michigan Guard while he awaits trial for theft of public funds, confirmed state spokesperson Penny Carroll. A federal public defender representing the soldier declined comment when reached by Army Times.

Grumpy old tax payer here. His pay is our hard earned taxes. Unfortunately, larceny is to be expected. The Guard owes the taxpayers for failing to maintain the guardrails. How many IG inspections did they have in those two years? "The CID agent attributed the error to Mitsui failing to complete administrative requirements when leaving the AGR program, and the Hawaii Guard failing to tell the Defense Finance and Accounting Service to stop his pay." Perhaps they could share a cell.
