Agreed, unless the point is to keep the professional militia 'blooded', and in a higher state of readiness due to a dangerous and uncertain geopolitical situation.
I'm of the opinion that we should have: - Standing army - Standing professional militia (Nat'l Guard) - True civilian militia, like those forming around political irritants, but minus the absurd hyperbole and with gov't funding.
Defense in depth is always best. =]
