What a giant crock of BS! I can’t believe the commanding officers of our fine troops have so little faith in their troops that they can’t be trusted to hear a speech by a former governor and VP candidate.
It must be a pretty touchy time on military bases these days if discipline and morale is so low they have to fear the appearance of a single person will disrupt their operation.
Sad, sad.
Palin has skin in the game. Her son is in the US Army and served in Iraq. She is more than just a former candidate.
Oh come on...this edict comes directly from on high, from that most mighty and most holy home of America’s King...
THE WHITE HOUSE.
Cause the army can behave and like you point out, Palin is a former Governor of an American state and a VP candidate.
Would the army do the same for, say, a visit from Mitt Romney?
Maybe she should bring her powerpoint presentation on how wonderful Jihad against the nonbelievers is.

My guess is that the high level brass and CiC are both worried about dissension in the ranks. The dissension is bad for the military and their mission, regardless of party affiliation, and in that regard I understand the decision, even if I disagree with it. But the decision speaks volumes about the lack of support for 0bama within our military.
It is clear that many Army Commanders were promoted for Leftard political beliefs and not for being good soldiers.
The first order of a Palin Administration should be to fire Leftard parasites in all departments of the government, but in particular the military.
