    Not really, since I don’t think he sent anyone for the Air Force.

    The National Guard is a state-based military force that becomes part of the U.S. military’s reserve components of the U.S. Army and the U.S. Air Force when activated for federal missions.[2] It is a military reserve force composed of National Guard military members or units of each state, the territories of Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia, for a total of 54 separate organizations. It is officially created under Congress’s Article I, Section 8 enumerated power to “raise and support Armies”.[3] All members of the National Guard are also members of the organized militia of the United States as defined by 10 U.S.C. § 246. National Guard units are under the dual control of U.S. state governments and the U.S. federal government.[2]

      According to this, its 100% correct. He sent them on a federal mission so they are Army now. The Air Force did show up. It was the National Guard

      Yah but they’re only under the army when called up federally, which they are in LA right now, but still, it’s weird.
