Georgia officers feud over quartermaster general post and national guard
A public dispute erupts between General Nash and General Obear over the Georgia quartermaster general position. Nash argues Obear has no duties and could be suspended as the office is obsolete with limited funding, while Obear cites state law backing the office. The conflict, fueled by a leaked letter from Adjutant General Van Holt Nash to Governor Slaton, centers on control of the office and its relevance to the Georgia National Guard.
