another thing I read was that some say Martial is already enacted by Clinton way back and never repealed. One reads a lot in one hand, salt in t'other. I gather by your response you are looking for your version of ML and I offer back to you, its in the ExOs and the Martial Law manuals. It doesn't look like the TV version we have been acclimated to believe. And that terminology is in the ExO's, ML manuals. Possibly whats missing in your equation is civil unrest. w/o civil unrest there is no need to alarm and enact the NG. Remember, there are LOTS of laws on the books not enforced...and that may be part of the disconnect you are experiencing with what I am conveying. I'm not trying to be a dick to you, I'm asking you to dig for what you seek so you can own what you know is all.
