#1 I just heard on the radio that uncle Teddy's gonna 'consider' using the courts to challenge the proposed closure of Otis ANGB in Sandwich, which means he will use the courts.

#2 Oh, let me make a correction:

The disputed closure, which would cost more than 1,200 ~~jobs~~ votes, is part of round of planned domestic military base reductions.

There, all better now...

#4 I think it is true the Feds can't dis-band a State National Guard unit but they most certainly can take all equipment and do not have to fund it. All the yelling about the National Guard being tha Militia is absolute bullshit. ALL the weapons, equipment, and training facilities belong to the Federal Government and if the Feds decide to with-hold funding and reposes all the equipment there isn't a thing the National Guard can do about it. The Army just repo'd all the Bradleys and M-1's of a unit near hear and relagated them to support troops. Not a damn thing the Governor could do. The State doesn't own the equipment. The 11th may still exist but they won't have any equipment unless the State buys it. Rotsa Ruck.
