It's not a gray area. Federal law guarantees the right to take time off from work to attend to your military responsibilities.
You don't elect POTUS as a civilian boss. You elect POTUS to be Commander In Chief. As for active duty being called to the National Guard, that is a nonsense statement. Congress is basically the same as civil service except for being put into position by the whim of the people instead of being qualified for the position.
This is just a civil servant reporting for annual military duty required by the National Guard. There are considerations given to employment situations and this military leave -- that is what it is called in the government -- is being scheduled during a break in congress.
