#1 Why would you expect the One to know that unlike Hawaii, Alaskan territory was invaded and occupied by the Japanese during WWII.

He's also out of the loop about his own federal laws, like Title X -

311. Militia: composition and classes

(a) The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard.
(b) The classes of the militia are—
(1) the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and
(2) the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia.

If they were doing military duties in the territory during time of war, it wasn't a matter of technicalities. It was performing their citizen duties for the country picking up the job in the absence of other resources.

#6 Alaska wasn't even a state until 1955 or so, or about when Zero was being born on the planet Gonzo-rhea.

#7 I hope they do it and it gets reported. The only rational motive is revenge. Watch Obama's popularity go down. Congress' popularity is already so low it doesn't make any difference.

#8 Hey, they're only a bunch of guys who defended their country during war time. Much better to spend five billion on a party in 2016 for his corrupt cronies in Chicago.

#9 You mean they actively participated in discriminatory imperialist violence, or the threat of violence, against the oppressed minority Japanese and Germans, DMFD?

#10 I certainly hope the other 56 states will come to Alaska's aid.

#11 It has, to me, become apparent that "men" more qualified to sell snake oil than place themselves in harms way exhibit mostly contempt towards those who place community defense and continuity over "organizing."

#12 BOA* does not give a rat's behind about the military. He does not understand the principles of duty and sacrifice. The Territorial Guard people did their duty for next to nothing, when the Japanese were invading the Aleutians and making scouting missions in other places in Alaska.

He is willing to spend trillions on his cronies and political hacks, and unwilling to spend a few bucks on 26 loyal Americans that did their part to keep this country safe in its time of peril.

*BOA = Barak Obama Administration
