    You do realize that the National Guard is an Armed Service branch right? The major differences between the National Guard and Army is that they aren’t an active duty branch and answer to the Governor of their respective States. National Guard units were deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan. It’s not some good ol’ boys in military surplus equipment.

    If this actually turns into a gun fight it going to be US Military attacking US Military.

      Only one side by definition would be the US Military, who would be fighting against traitors.
