You are incorrect. The National Guard (both Air and Army) are
components of the US Air Force and US Army. When not federalized they
are under control of the states. You got your cart before your horse.
The Fed doesn't take them away, the resume control of them.


Exactamundo my friend...glad someone got it right. I've been following this
post and was about to say as you did.
I served in the Ky National Guard from 1971 through 1998 and heard this
debate over and over...

The last four words of our National Anthem?.....
"Gentlemen, start your engines"
