Re: NAC - American style [LONG]

 highly doubt that the local Guard and militia units would be up to 
the task (resource-wise and moral-wise) of suppressing a fellow 
state... which would mean having to ask for foriegn assistance... 
"at least until we could get our own troops back home" 

Just a "minor" point if you notice our deployments are close to 50/50
reserve/regulars so at any time half the regular forces are state side.
As for the rest of your observations that tend to agree with, I look at
it this way. Our grandparents survived the great depression and then
W.W.II, we'll pull through.......)
