Just as bad, it took the Department of Defense ninety minutes to approve repeated offers from the State of Maryland to send our National Guard to DC. (Our governor was responding to phone pleas from the House Majority Leader and Senate Minority Leader, who were in hiding at that point.)
Is this how long the Department of Defense normally takes when dealing with national emergencies? I seem to recall they were quicker in 9/11, and even then they faced criticism for being too slow.
