Military readiness problem

Saw this little news blurb on Instapundit, and it reminded me of something that was said in the link ( not provided oops ) provided in this here post...

So, what did this guy say?

If the Navy, Army, Marines and Air Force were, indeed, planning to take over Texas, just what does Gov. Abbott think the state guard would be able to do about it?

Just how can the military take over anything, especially Texas, if it has a readiness problem?  The dude has credibility problems, I'd say.
