the main purpose of the national guard is defense, not picking up after natural disasters.
Tell that to anyone who served under Klintoon. He used the military as his own personal Peace Corps/world cleanup crew.
Just ask the Marines at Pendleton in the 90's who were used to fight forest fires, etc, etc, etc...
