How is Track Palin doing? By Tim LindellIn comments the other day, Alex Raye asked "I wonder how Track Palin is doing?" This got me curious about how Private First Class Palin's unit is faring in Iraq, especially since Saturday was the day of Iraqi provincial elections. So I hope you all don't mind if I do a little bit of milblogging on this normally political blog. February 1, 2009

This is rarely mentioned: Military Prescribing Massive Amounts of Pain Medication; Punishes Those Who Become Dependent
The treatment of many of Track's peers is one of the biggest failures of the military and addiction is rampant. It is a tragic never ending problem.
Troops reportedly popping more painkillers
Narcotic pain-relief prescriptions for injured U.S. troops have jumped from 30,000 a month to 50,000 since the Iraq war began, raising concerns about the drugs' potential abuse and addiction, says a leading Army pain expert.

The Palin's have secrets and confusion surrounding birthdates, it is a little mysterious when Track was born and identification of parents is an issue with the Palins.

Track Palin birthday: Sarah Palin’s son conceived out of wedlock?
There is a rumor on Track Palin’s birthday. Sarah Heath eloped with Todd Palin on August 29, 1988. An old traffic offence record from a speeding ticket on Track CJ Palin stated his birthdate as April 20 1989.
Track prefers not to be forthright about his politics. It was mentioned he is not a Republican, he may follow Todd's thinking when it comes to party affiliations. What is he fighting for?

Levi's Brisbane Australia review: "...in this month’s Vanity Fair. I have to say, his first-person rundown is gallantly balanced and measured."
