True, informative post. Let me ask you...is there a National Guard now? I mean, the states National Guard system, seems to have been disarmed...where I could see a base, with vehicles, tanks, heavy armour, trucks, there is a youth center. The physical force has venished from the landscape. How do you account for this? Is the National Guard now only the actual bodies of men, who have served in the standing army? Wasn't the National Guard under the rule of the Govenor of a State...being the State's army? as it were.
Yes, there is still a NG (and other reserves). Perhaps your local armory closed but they still exist. No, it is not solely former active duty military, although that is the predominant membership. There was an is dual control of the NG. The Governor has control wrt to local emergencies, and the branch of the military the NG and other reserves wrt to national emergencies.
