- Sorry, but wrong again, at least in the context of this thread. The
- National Guard belongs to the governor of a state and only becomes
- an arm of the federal government when they are ordered to duty by
- the president. I suppose a governor can employ his National Guard
- ANY WAY HE WANTS TO (assuming the people of the state let him stay
- in office) and the National Guard may have been used by some states
- in drug enforcement. In this context however, they are not an armed
- force of the United States.
