National Guard Back Bone of Defense Says Captain Weilein
Captain Geo Weilein of Company B Iowa National Guard argues for a larger militia presence over a bigger standing army. He proposes expanding Waterloo guard units to 100 men per company, with pay for drilling and fines for attendance, plus higher private and officer pay to attract volunteers and improve marksmanship. He cites efficiency, competition, and patriotic motive as reasons to favor militia readiness.
