This is happening in the Maryland and Virginia area, and it could be in most of the country. What happens to us if we have a bad storm or some problem where we would need this eqipment?

It just means that we'll be virtually unprepared for another natural disaster or a terror attack.

Wow! No more ambulances and police cars. It'll sure be less noisy. And all those military vehicles shown on the news that are assisting in Kansas must be fakes.
What really is happening is the states no longer pay for their own armies so the Federal government uses them as it sees fit. There are plenty of vehicles and personnel available but have been moved to places within the USA where the government feels they can be more efficiently utilized rather then concentrated redundantly in small states. Of course, this defeats the purpose of having a state guard but that is the way it is.

The news is pointing out that the National Guard deployments are stretching the state's ability to respond to emergency situations. We are not sending emergency equipment to Iraq, we're sending the National Guard. Don't take the tone of my posting to mean I support the war either because I don't and never have.
