Thus Spake mfn8j@watt.seas.Virginia.EDU (Maximillian Natzet):
%In regards to the National Guard, I agree with John. What we
%now call the National Guard is the modern incarnation of a well
%regulated militia. The fact that the DOD spends money on the
%National Guard in no way waives its primary responsibility to
%the state government. That federal funding is a contract between
%states and the feds, freely entered into by each party. If the
%President deems it necessary to send Guardsmen overseas, he has
%to clear it with the Governor first.
Indeed, my orders to go to AIT start off "With the permission of the Governor of
Virginia. . . " (or words to that effect, my records are at home, and I'm in the
dorm).
