People forget that national guard isn’t a full time position. It’s usually one weekend a month and one week a year.

So calling them up is very disruptive to them, they have jobs and lives that are being massively interrupted by a call up. When it’s to deal with flooding or wild fires, or like any sort of actual emergency, that disruption is probably justified to them.

This is definitely pissing off a lot of them, especially given that they’re best positioned to see what a non issue the situation on the ground is.
