First off the National guard is state controlled and can be activated by the governor. The Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force and Coast Guard are Federal under direction of the President. The President CANNOT send Federal troops into a state unless the governor ASKS for help. From What I heard The governor of Louisiana did not Officially ask for help until WEDS. And then Think of the logistics of all this. Who controls what. National guard form 3 different states army troops State Police City cops. Man this is a night mare. Top it all off with some IDIOTS sniping at ambulances trying to help sick people. It might be simple for the Governor to declare MARTIAL LAW. Then the the military takes control. It is hard but makes things simple. If any people want further explanations of this please contact me off list and I will be happy to discuss it. > > --------------070009050804070106080307 Content-Type: text/x-vcard; charset=utf-8; name="rindesigns.vcf" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="rindesigns.vcf" begin:vcard fn:Robert I.
