It occurs to me that the state TAG and CSM serve at the pleasure of the state governor.

Anyone want to ask Governor Bev Perdue why she would allow this sort of political cover-up to occur in her State Guard?

If she doesn't take some action, the News and Observer might be interested in a corruption in the Guard story.

Frankly, it looks like a cover-up or cronyism to me.

All of the soldiers I have known who wore unauthorized awards and decorations were not just allowed to retire in their current rank, they were UCMJed.
