I served in the Alaska ANG in the early 70's with relaxed standards.  We were allowed to wear short-haired wigs to weekend guard drills!  It wasn't a military organization, it was a social club.  We were NOT ready to go to war, period.  Walker wants to get "free" federal money to expand the guard in the bush, only using very little state money and if these guardsmen get drug-tested and they fail, they are out.  If as the article says, pot use is so prevalent, finding non users to enlist may be a serious problem.
