Being a member of the National Guard, I am appalled by this. I question to as why the article says no charges can be filed. When I worked at a recruiter for the National Guard, I was full time, and as such was subject to UMCJ at all times. The Army and the Alaska Army National Guard need to do the right thing here and punish those involved for their actions.

I would have to say that for anyone who is a leader in today's military (no matter the branch), the saying "do as I expect not as I do" is a better statement to say and could sum it all up.

If you look on any social media website or the news, you can see how many different individuals at all levels within the different military have violated this guideline or standard. These are the leaders that are setting one standard but enforce a totally different standard.

That is why the Inspector General in all branches of the military are so busy and are constantly having to determine who is right and wrong. So I think a better question to ask is, why do we have leaders, at all levels, setting standards when they don't even follow the standards themselves. Should these "leaders" be removed and never be allowed to fulfill such positions again especially if there is documentation stating a violation of regulations and policies has occurred?
