Air Force Times: Protect Our Defenders: Wilkerson ouster not politically motivated
Protect Our Defenders President Nancy Parrish is featured in this Air Force Times article:
Protect Our Defenders blasted comments from Lt. Col. James Wilkerson in which he called his forced retirement at the rank of major less than a year after a three-star general overturned his sexual assault conviction politically motivated.
In the statement sent to Air Force Times on Friday, Wilkerson maintained he was innocent of the charge of sexual assault and said Air Force leaders had “apparently succumbed to external pressure from biased victim advocacy groups and congressional representatives on a political crusade.”
Protect Our Defenders president Nancy Parrish called Wilkerson’s argument “patently absurd.”
