      It's wild on so many levels, I also didn't even know national guards can go to other states unless it's an emergency disaster relief shit.

          Eh, it wasn't until the Spanish-American War that things got off the ground. The US government used to disband most of the army after a war. The US Navy was frequently put in the position of having to purchase merchant ships and put cannons on them when a war broke out. And Congress would barely give them any money.

          Not any more! WWI and especially WWII took care of that permanently.
