The national guard of the united states is not discussed much
True! I really don't know much if anything about them.
The national guard units are under both state and federal control
Hmm interesting. You seem to know a lot about them.
The majority of the national guard are airmen that do part time service
Oh okay, that makes sense. What exactly even is the national guard?
The national guard is basically a reserve force
A reserve force? I can assume what that would likely mean, but I can't really tell. Cool though!
Basically the reserve force the national guard is is for backup when they are needed
Ohh so they're basically on retainer for when they are truly needed?
