No, Track (the kid who is leaving for Iraq) didn’t join the NG because he was a drug addict. He may have joined the NG because he was tired of people saying his Mom was getting him into the good hockey leagues. (Yes, that one was original reporting. I’ve got sources in Wasilla.)

lets talk about "rumors"....really, if any are true...I don't care....teenagers are scary and you can't lock them because its against the law....
the legend of Sarah grows IMO....
Hang in there Sarah Palin!
Kinda like Bush senior getting his son into the National Guard?
This story would seem to help Palin, the narrative is, troubled son joins the service and turns his life around. It's actually a pretty common meme among middle class Americans.
That's a great source for debunking the numerous lies. Thanks very much for providing the link.
“didn’t join the NG because he was a drug addict.”
Yep, that’s a pretty sure fire way of being rejected by ANY branch of the military.
bttt
Not to disparage the National Guard, but the son is in the regular Army.
Can anyone answer this for me? I thought you couldn’t get into the armed forces if you were drug-addicted? I knew a guy years ago that didn’t have to go to Vietnam because he was drug-addicted! (they were right BTW, he was HARD-CORE)
Has this changed?
