I definately agree that the differences between the Civil War and today are accurate as you described them. You would be surprised the # of active duty (Title 10) members who don't understand what the National Guard is. My all time greatest moment in the National Guard was refusing an order from a full colonel, by saying in my deep southern drawl, "Suh, I takes my owduhs from the Honarable Haley Barbour, Govenor of the Great State of Mississippi" Fortunately I was able to get away from him, because 24 hours later I was federalized and would have been compelled to obey.
