See this thread; posting to call more attention to it RE why DoD not calling in guard:
https://www.democraticunderground.com/100214824575
it's different if a state governor sends in the Guard but DC has no governor. So I think it's different if gov from out of DC sends in guard than if DOD sends them in.
