Below is an article which I suspect applies in part to every Governor of every State in at least some way. The locality of Alaska is special. In Hawaii The Hawaii Air National Guard is our line of defense in the Pacific. Nice to know we also have the Alaskan National Guard both ground and air.
The article is not opinion but just information.
SARAH PALIN'S SECURITY CLEARANCE
Before you dismiss the fact that Sarah Palin is Commander of the Alaska National Guard, consider this:
Alaska is the first line of defense in our missile interceptor defense system. The 49th Missile Defense Battalion of the Alaska National Guard is the unit that protects the entire nation from ballistic missile attacks. Itʼs on permanent active duty, unlike other Guard units.
As governor of Alaska , Palin is briefed on highly classified military issues, homeland security, and counterterrorism. Her exposure to classified material may rival even Biden's and certainly by far exceeds Obama's.
She's also the commander in chief of the Alaska State Defense Force (ASDF), a federally recognized militia incorporated into Homeland Security's counterterrorism plans.
Palin is privy to military and intelligence secrets that are vital to the entire country's defense. Given Alaska 's proximity to Russia , she may have security clearances we don't even know about. According to the Washington Post, she first met with McCain in February, but nobody ever found out. This is a woman used to keeping secrets.
She can be entrusted with our national security, because she already is.
GOP governors in charge of both.
I agree!
A prime target for SPETZNAZ commandos should hostilites develop.

Source?
Where is the authority to support this information? It’s my understanding that state governors are not responsible for opeations involving missile interceptors. I’m a Palin supporter, but I’m not comfortable citing credentials for which I have no proof.
Is she also a member of Supreme Headquarters Alien Defence Organization (SHADO). It is a control center hidden underground beneath a movie studio somewhere near London, England. /sarc
“She can be entrusted with our national security, because she already is.”
The inference is that the other guys are not to be trusted or entrusted with national security because they haven’t keep secrets.
To make a good argument, you’ve gotta come up with better logic and evidence that that.

I think the woman is great....but the word “MAY” appears to often in this piece that been floting around the WWW for days......
I didn’t know that YW was public until I applied for a job at Raytheon. It asked for current sec clearance and had YW as one of the options. LOL.
Yeah, that is an 18 month anal exam.
