34. The militia are ** untrained **, regardless that they think they are.

Just because some are veterans of Army or Marines does not mean they are trained for crowd scenes or complex evolving situations where laws and US rights apply. It also does not mean that their old training is up to date or fresh enough to be effective.

The Mooch militia "units" are not trained together as a cohesive force and may kill as many of their own as any others. Of course then the Right Wing media would spin those deaths as government heavy-handedness and not as the militia incompetence that it would be.

The militia are not trained just because most of them are good at shooting at targets on ranges.

The militia are not trained. Period. They are a force to be reckoned with but that makes them even more dangerous since they could go off half-cocked (yes, that is the technical phrase) with disastrous results.

I would love to see them frog march the gun nuts upaloopa May 2014 #1
