I honestly don't know how anyone can say that, with a straight face.
Who paid for their training (boot camp and Schools)? Who paid for all the equipment? Who pays for their weekend drill? Who pays for their summer training? Who
allows the State Governor to retain "command" when not called into active service?
The answer to each of those questions, is the same: The National Guard are Federal Troops.
