Most if not all countries have Militia's including the popular Al Qaida, and the Taliban which are the equivalent to America's Militia which operate on behalf of the nation.

For example:

The U.S. Militia is devoted to the protection of the U.S. Constitution and protection of U.S. Sovereignty against all threats foreign and local.

Terrorists being the topic of national defense, are members of the U.S. Militia perceived as the American terrorists considering they opperate identical to the individual ways like most countries, including Afghanistan and the Middle East like Al Qaida and the Taliban does?

The answer is Yes! There is no difference, but we just do not perceive our local Militia's that way as they are an important backbone to our society and national defense as an emergency to local and foreign powers.

So why do we not incriminate our local Militia's as terrorist groups?

I suppose they have to commit serious assaults like Timothy McVeigh to react.

Timothy McVeigh was never in the U.S. Militia. I'm talking about the real U.S. Militia and not some yahoo shopper that knows how to make C4 out of Paint Your World paint store.

Well, the destruction of the Oklahoma building was not a paint your world operation, it was well thought and tragically affective. At the end executing T McVeigh proves how real the threat is. I am not sure how we can call the Oklahoma tragedy, not the work of a militia against the Government.

And who exactly is the U.S. Militia and what does it do? There's the Army, the Navy, the Air Force, the Marines, the National Guard, the Coast Guard, and assorted federal, state and local police organizations, but the U.S. Militia is one I've never heard of. If it's not sponsored by government at any level, it has no official status as a military or paramilitary force and any actions it undertakes may be considered to be criminal behaviour.

Yes I agree, the problem is it comprises of local and federal law enforement, ex-military, and government officials.

There are hundreds of U.S. Militia detachments in the U.S. Here is one website for starters...

As described by: https://www.unitedstatesmilitia.com

The United States Militia is a community of patriots, true believers in a good and free America. We believe in traditional values of faith, family and work, and in an absolute right to self preservation. We believe in self determination, in limited government, and in honoring and maintaining the republic as it was designed more than 200 years ago.

We believe that the freedoms passed down through 400 years of American history, often purchased at great cost, must be protected. We believe it vital that American history be returned to the classroom and to the culture. America is in the midst of a global struggle that necessitates engagement, not only militarily, but economically. Domestically, the struggle deepens and necessitates lawful engagement politically, socially and spiritually.

We meet here first, with common goals of a free and prosperous America. Every color, every culture, one country.

"Adversaries of the Militia"

"The duty of the militia is to protect society, its members, and its Constitution, from anything that may threaten it. That includes foreign enemies, domestic
insurrectionists, and disasters, but at the moment, the primary threat to which the Militia needs to respond comes from domestic enemies of the Constitution, which are found in every institution and sector of our society. Many of them are gangsters, and we can speak of the Establishment, gangster government, gangster corporations, banksters, and their minions, many of them driven by the money from narcotrafficking. But it also includes zealots and fascists who pretend to have noble intentions, and may even believe it, but who are the most dangerous of all".


Who in a Militia determines who is a Gangster Government, and what do they do to remedy such a problem?

That is a good question and why these militias are watched so closely today. Most are just following the old rule to protect society, its members, and its Constitution, from anything that may threaten it. That includes foreign enemies, domestic. Other than that, militias just are like clubs and just wait. Those who were caught were the domestic enemies talked about. But the goverment took care of them without any objection from any others that we know about and not needing any help from civilians other than reporting what was going on.

Militias in the US are different from those in Canada (the Armed Forces Reserves are actually referred to as "the Militia") in that they are not governed by the dept of defense. Some of them also have issues in that they don't always recognize either the US constitution or some of the ammendments that have been added to it, stating that (the constitution or the ammendments) go against the intent of the founding fathers of the US when they wrote the Declaration of Indepence.

Most of these groups aren't proscribed per se, but some do violate things like weapons laws (many try to accumulate armories in case they are some day needed to take up arms), and as a foreign national in the US, I would be hesitant to get involved with them.

The only militia I heard be called Terrorists in the US, were that Christian Militia that allegedly plotted to wage a war on the police force, which in my view, did nothing to deserve officers being ambushed and killed, then IED'd during the funeral to kill more police, followed up by luring them back into a further trap to kill even more.

I mean, if you're a legit military force, shouldn't you first be officially declaring war on someone or something before you sneak around like terrorists thugs, ambushing and blowing up unsuspecting troops/police/humans?

They weren't going to win many over to their cause this way, and if they didn't get more people coming to their cause, their attempt would have just been a suicide mission from the start and the only thing they'd accomplish is to kill a bunch of people who never had the chance to defend themselves, let alone knew they were at war with anybody, before having everything the US government has tossed at them.

I seen their little promo video being shown in the news.... all dressed up like camo monkies, jumping around with heavy metal music in the background to sound all tough..... looked, sounded and felt just like one of those Jihad videos we see in the news all the time.... only with a Western Christian Spin to it.

They were a bunch of idiot clowns and if they truly knew what they were doing, they wouldn't have been caught with their pants down and arrested without firing a single shot in the first place.

I wouldn't even compare them to legit Militias in your local communities.... at least not to the militias many in my family served in here where I live.

(And yes, I'm aware US and Canadian Militias are different)

Reason why I am asking is because as a Canadian Mercenary to the U.S. Militia I have no idea what my legal status is in accordence to law.

I know my job though...
Ummm, ok...:-|

Sounds like self-righteous BS to me.
Actually Dex, from my experience, most Militia types are actually very altruistic. Oft devoting their time, at their own expense to all manner of activities. From simple litter pick up, to providing emergency services in times of crisis. In fact, a few Militia groups were instrumental in staving off looter in their perspective towns in the aftermath of Katrina.

It's true, there are Units that have a somewhat jaded view of the US Gov't, but if you look at the tradition of the US Miltia corp. You will see that it has storied and lustrous history. It was also the origin of the National Guard.

Most of these groups aren't proscribed per se, but some do violate things like weapons laws (many try to accumulate armories in case they are some day needed to take up arms),
True, but many have tried to distance themselves from those groups that otherwise are a dangerous embarrassment.

Absolutely, but at the same time, as a foreign national, if he gets involved with the wrong group, he could face charges in the US and back in Canada, stemming from the fact that he is getting involved in the internal politics of another country. Agents provocateur aren't well loved anywhere and he could end up being considered as such if things are a little shady...

Agreed, especially when he specifically labels himself a "Canadian Mercenary". All humour aside, an embarrassing and all to dangerous label to apply.
