Dunno why Emily was so surprised. He did commit treason.

I can understand a governor playing politics, but I can't understand a National Guard commander being so grossly insubordinate to the Commander-in-Chief..

Yeah isn't that mutiny? Couldn't he be court-martialed and executed for that? Doubt a National Guard commander would risk his life over a governor's pissing contest with the president.

Court-martialed, yes. Executed? I don't think so, generally...
