Militia Rising

Have any of you ever heard about a "militia", (paramilitary group) that actually had their stuff together?

Actually yes I have. Some states, including my own, Washington, have an organized militia. But it's not a bunch of armed citizens.

The Washington state militia is made up of former military and law enforcement members that support police and the National Guard during natural disasters. Much of their work involves logistical support and preforming routine jobs such as traffic direction so that the police and Guard can devote their time to other jobs.

They render an important civil service and do it very well.

Right on, Buzzcook! The way propaganda works is to portray the "other side" in the worst possible light. The guys shown in "The Militia" were probably hand picked out of several groups, if not an outright fabrication, to influence public opinion.
It's been long known that if 3 people get together to "oppose the government", 2 of them will be feds. Read "Propaganda" by Edward Bernays or just search "propaganda".

This is exactly what Hezbula does. And it works.
 
Can I tell you a story?

One time Ted Turner called Vince McMahon and said I want to get into the wrestling business, Vince said I'm not in the wrestling business, I'm in the entertainment business.

GET IT?:rolleyes:
 
Militias throughout the world have been defeating regular armies for centuries. Look at the British, Russian, and U.S. in Afghanistan for instance. Do you think they faced an official, state sponsored and run "Army". No.
 
No, they haven't. If it had been in the interest of the Soviets to remain in Afganistan, or ours today, they would still be there. There is such a thing as giving up and going home without ever being defeated on the battlefield. Besides, someone is "sponsoring" them. When the Soviets were in Afganistan, we were the sponsors. Who's doing the sponsoring now?

Also, a militia does not necessarily fight a guerilla war and a guerilla war is not necessarily fought by a militia.
 
pnac, you seem to have missed my point. The militia I'm referring to isn't privately organized, nor is it made up of people opposed to the government.

It is a governmental organization directly under the control of the state.

You're right Buzzcook, I apparently did miss your point.
 
History shows how effective militias can be. In the American Revolution as well as in the Civil War militias were held in low regard. Probably because of their tendency to run at the first shot.
 
Been waiting for a response for this show on multiple forums for about 3 weeks now, I saw the premier,it was so bad my tin foil sombrero flew off my head lol...
 
I've just been watching it on youtube. What happens with the militia thats on the border when they run into illegals? Is the unit tolerated by US officials?

Those family extractions seem a little hardcore. I would suspect well armed but much less conspicuous behavior would be more effective.

And I had to laugh when they said they only accept the best of the best. One of the militia members refered to an AK47 as an assault rifle! Not to mention Mr Beefaroni doesn't look like the "best" to me.

Don't even get me started on the one who dropped his gun!!! I am so glad these guys aren't in my neighborhood.
