The truth is, in a time of civil unrest, National Guard members are more likely to follow the Constitution than a group of careerist regulars, who are so submerged in their own isolated military culture, they have less compassion for civilians.

National Guard members have a much better perspective than regulars, by their very nature.

That's been my experience as well. The NG also does way better in the peacekeeping sorts of missions, too, for the same reason.
