Very telling, no? Some people's idea of the Militia is that it is a state function. Look how well the state functioned during Katrina. The local police were vacationing in another state or looting the stores while the National Guard was busy disarming the people in their own homes who weren't looting anything.
Evidently the National Guard was enforcing the principle that "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall be fully infringed during and after hurricanes". They didn't even bother to keep records so that people could recover their personal property.
You are so very correct. I have heard the author Tom Clancy comment on this subject; and to paraphrase him, he stated that the military is pathological in it's loyalty to their command structure. And, he is correct as our military has a long history of complete obedience to it's civilian leadership with a few exceptions such as during the Civil War and of course there is The Emperor aka General MacArthur. But, back to the subject at hand, oher examples are the Branch Dividian Massacre and Ruby Ridge which was orchestrated by the FBI and ATF. Btw and just as a side note; if the Dem's should win the White House, the pro-gun contol bunch will be emboldened again and we can expect to see these sorts of incidents to occur again for sure...
