I know some current service members. Not what it was when I went through in 84, either. Not as bad as its often made out to be, but not quite what it was.

Im one that interprets the militria as local folks ready to defend or offer help in times of need. The Guard is a great unit BUT its not controlled locAly . The Governors control unless the Feds want them such as the callup for Korea.
Here in Tx there were lical groups that were ready to ride. Heck, country churchs in the 1800’s had to be guarded during services. 1885 was the last of the Commanche raids but after that ended still had robber bands especially along border .
It got so bad along our Southernborder that during WWI the Feds issued .45’s and winchester lever rifles in 30-06 to border civilians.
