Of course, he cited some nebulous "emergency" that he hasn't defined and never will--so it's under false pretenses, as with everything he does--and he put no fucking thought into it whatsoever (the troops don't even have water or a place to sleep), but he still "activated" them, just not in the way that they are traditionally supposed to be.
