Its reported that State National Guards will attempt to be deployed to States other than their own. This will leave State Governors without the authority to command local defenses or repel illegal FEDERAL intrusions or other advancements.

I can see that part. I thought there might be more.

It will not relieve the soldiers of following legal, Constitutional orders.

If this will do anything, it will cement the relationship between Guardsmen and the local populations, not divide them.

Plan on the unexpected.

I'm a little hesitant to jump to any conclusions based on a lone comment from a website called "SoldierHugs", but let's explore for a moment the ramifications of this.

Every sign up and down the highway is advocating the national guard and talking about how they are local people helping local people.

Yet we have known this to be a lie for a long time. National guard units are deployed almost full time now in Afghanistan and Iraq. How are they helping local people there?

The reason to deploy guard units, which used to be considered "state militia" until the rise of Federalism in which they became the national guard, would be to quell dissent and commit unconstitutional acts.

Soldiers are not going to be willing to use force against their family, friends, and relatives. They could not be trusted to do so. However the Civil War in 1865 taught us that when you take boys from Ohio or Illinois and send them to Virginia or South Carolina then they will commit whatever atrocities are ordered of them.

If this rumor is true, then this is a very bad thing. We should be prepared. I hope that many of those National Guard folks decide to go AWOL if this order is actually issued. They may have thought "the Stan" was bad, but they'll learn a new meaning of the word if they try it here.
