If we let business owners vote on whether a call-up of the National Guard is justified, there would never be a call-up. We delegate these decisions to Governors and Presidents whom we elect. If you disagree strongly enough to vote for someone else the next time around, that is your right. Until then, it's up to Governors and Presidents, and if you don't like it, it's just tough, as it should be.

We don't have a democracy, we have a representative democracy and a constitutional republic.
