Re: More future history questions

Beth,
    The National Guard IS a Federal Government organization,
and the State Militias exist in mane only with no weapons
or even uniforms not supplied by the feds.
     The Texas National Guard can defeat the Mexican Army by
itself.
     Note that the Unorganized Militia ( the Armed People)
can defeat the entire military and organized militia of the U.S.
The estimiated number of firearm owners in U.S. is estimitated
at 80 million.	If only one of ten decides to fight, 8 million
troops are in the fields and towns sniping day and night.
This is the reason the U.S. will never be taken by a 
foreign army.

Bye for now,
John L.
