Finally the Alaska National Guard scandal is starting to bubble up into the national press.

This should be Gov. Sean Parnell's undoing. He has known about this for four years, but has continued to promote responsible parties, only recently attempting to clean house (I.e., it's an election year, and he was hoping this would remain hidden until after November).

A top commander for the Alaska National Guard was recommended for “other than honorable” discharge earlier this year following an investigation that found he allowed recruiters to sexually assault and harass women.

Lt. Col. Joseph Lawendowski failed to act on multiple complaints of serious misconduct, including rape, against four noncommissioned officers under his command, according to an Army investigation.

The Anchorage Press obtained a copy of the Army Regulation 15-6 report that found Lawendowski, a former pornography company owner and co-founder of an “end times” fundamentalist group, violated the National Guard code of conduct on multiple occasions.

Three of those NCOs – Carson, Nieves, and Tallant – were known to National Guard members as the “Three-Headed Monster” due to their widely known misconduct and abnormally large size, and sworn statements show they had a motto: “What happens in recruiting, stays in recruiting.”

The whole sordid story can be found in the archives at The Mudflats. Shannyn Moore deserves kudos for bringing this out into the light.

1. This is the first I've heard of it. Thanks for the info.

2. Disgusting, yet very important news.

One would think that corruption in the armed forces would make headlines in all 50 states.

The news also shows why DU is important. This story has not appeared on my television screen or local radio stations.

Nor has word that pornographers make colonels these days appeared anywhere. No wonder banksters are generals.

Thank you for the heads-up Blue_In_AK1!

3. Fundamentalist, pornographer, and Air Force officer?

That has to be a really tiny demographic, like "1", right?

Right?

despicable animals.

8. All were married at the time

Log on to Immoral Minority and scroll down to the story. This has gone on for years, even when the half-term half baked Alaskan Palin was governor.
