Letters allege favoritism in Virginia National Guard
The Virginian Pilot published letters and statements linking former Democratic office-holders to favors in Virginia National Guard enlistment. Maj. Donald Hawker claimed the Guard serves a privileged few, with Gen. Booth and Lt. Gov. Stephens named in cases of deferments and enlistments for individuals including George Pulley and Alex Berkowitz.
