"The Army National Guard is part of the United States Army, comprising approximately one half of its available combat forces and approximately one third of its support organization. The Air National Guard is part of the United States Air Force.

Many states also maintain their own State Defense Forces. These forces are federally recognized, but are separate from the National Guard and are not meant to be federalized, but rather serve the state exclusively, especially when the National Guard is deployed, or otherwise, unavailable.

Army National Guard units are trained and equipped as part of the U.S. Army; likewise, Air National Guard units are trained and equipped as part of the US Air Force. Both are expected to adhere to the same moral and physical standards as their "full-time" Federal counterparts. The same ranks and insignia are used and National Guardsmen are eligible to receive all United States military awards. The National Guard also bestows a number of state awards for local services rendered in a service member's home state."

"The government" is not the same as "the country",

You may want to stop and consider what makes the USA a legitimate country. Hint: Its the constitution/government.

"If I supported them, I wouldn't call them the enemy!"

Right. It is insane to call your own government the enemy, and make it your life's compulsion hoping for harm to come to it.

"I support any war where an enemy attacks us or declares war on us."

That's been your problem all along. Supporting the enemy is insane. ... There are meds for that, but then you probably hear that everywhere you go.
