azb: the two missions (federal and state) of the National Guard units (Army and Air Force) are explained on their websites. Do a google search for "National Guard mission" and learn more about their roles. Guardsmen are not a substitute for combat troops--and by golly, I hope not--had too many friends pulling occasional weekend Guard training duty over the years in addition to their full-time jobs, and definitely wouldn't trust those part-time soldiers to throw bombs and shoot the enemy! <<gg>> Surely you wouldn't want all our combat troops over in Iraq or any other international war zone, either. We need combat troops here in the U.S. at all times.
