Actually there is a lot of misinformation here. The national guard troops called up so far are supposed to have been all military police troops.

I wouldn't count on that training being worth much. My cousin was recently called up from the marine reserves to be an MP. Aside from the fact that he has always had a huge disdain for low enforcement, he's receiving two weeks of training to be an MP. That's about the same amount of training that the dopes operating the x-ray machines get. I would hardly imagine training is better in the Natl guard.
