Why does any state need an air National Guard with fighter jets anyway?
WHAT the States need to do is establish their own state militias separate from the national guard. Some have but they are not funded well and are small.

THIS. And no more Katrina bullshit when the State's National Guard is fully deployed to a non-war "Police Action" overseas and unavailable.
Oh, the are now calling them State Defense Forces. Or Wikipedia is because militias are 'white supremacist hate groups'.
I'm okay with militias, but National Guard by me does serve a defense function. Makes no sense in NOLA. You're surrounded by military that is fully capable of helping with choppers, vehicles, troops etc. Non-coastal areas don't have that luxury.
So yeah, I'll take the National Guard with jets near(ish) to me.
Second, you don't need a jet, or nukes to cripple this country. An EMP would do it.
First, what's the greatest threat to our safety and freedom? I don't mean hypothetically, I mean in our lifetime, who's done more to destroy our freedoms and enslave us? China, Russia, or the federal government? He who trades freedom for security deserves neither - Franklin.
But third, and most important to you. No war in history has ever been won, no territory conquered without ground troops. See Vietnam, or any of the wars in Afghanistan.
It wouldn't cripple the country permanently.
I'm not enslaved to anyone.
I've never been about "conquering" territory from another country. I want our country to have defense capabilities and also offensive capability.
