Why not just hire extra local policeman and one at each school ?

do you realize the cost of your proposal.....National guardsmen are already paid...just post them as part of their duties.

National guardsmen are already paid.

They are paid to train in their MOS or AFSC, not pull BS duty that they aren't trained for.

And if there is a terrorist attack and guardsmen are mobilized and called away? Who is watching the schools?

Screw that. Arm the teachers, the smart ones, anyway.

National Guardsmen are paid two days per month. And they can not accomplish their already-assigned tasks in that time.
