Anyone hear news about Schwarzeneggers plan for a new "militia" in CA?

Advertisements [?]

Last night, there was a quick blurb about his plans to organize a "militia" using retired military folks and to serve the needs in the absence of the Nat'l Guard being in Iraq....

WTF? Why call it a militia? Why not just actively recruit more people for the National Guard? (Oh, I forgot - because they won't want to go to Iraq!) Meanwhile, the naming of it as a militia worries me and it sets off some red flags for me...I don't trust Schwarzenegger at all...I believe there are underlying goals/plans he has that have often nothing to do with the hollywood smile and marketing. Are there things a "militia" can do that the Nat'l Guard can't? Just wondering....
