    Your statement is false:
    The above article is from ABC which stated,
    "Two of the Guard members had "inappropriate" text and comment, presumably of a political nature, while the other 10 had engaged in questionable behavior unrelated to extremism."
    The above is from NBC, "The other 10 members were removed because of questions raised including a review of their criminal records and other information."

    Should I keep finding other news sources....don't see nothing about militias...


    BobK,

    The NATIONAL GUARD is part of THE MILITIA in most jurisdictions, as is The State Guard units or "Organized State Militia".
    (The COMMON MILITIA is the rest of the population, who ARE AVAILABLE & ABLE, to serve "on call".)

    A decision of the SCOTUS indicates that women & older children MAY be CALLED-UP for "local defense service" IF they are NEEDED.

    Don't forget about the idiots that went to defend the thieving Bundy's.

    The last disaster emergency we had in our county, in 1987, was a tornado that did millions of dollars of damage, and extensive property damage in the county.

    There was a "militia" group that was trying to "organize" and try and help out, but the Keystone Cops would have better suited for the task than that group of idiots.

    Whatever opinions many of you may have about a "militia" is entirely your business and that is fine with me. But mine being different from my own personal observations are mine.

    Axxe55,

    As I said, on the day of the disaster & when "the call goes out" for VOLUNTEERS, please stay home. =There is quite enough problems after an EMERGENCY to have to "put up with" persons who don't desire to help, won't accept direction OR who are otherwise "UNFIT" to help out.

    SATX,

    I understand that as I also served in the military. However, sir if you look at what started this thread it stated, "National Guard members were removed from the inauguration forces. . . . .BECAUSE they had American "militia ties."

    This would infer that they were participating in extracurricular activities that were not an official part of the Guard.

    BobK,

    Did you REALLY BELIEVE that there was ever an ACTUAL "plot" to kidnap the governor or anyone else by those individuals, or anyone else, for that matter??
    That was MORE "FAKE NEWS" from the FAR LEFT DIMocRATS & their allies in the "MAIN-SLIME MEDIA".
    (You surely DID see that "fairy tale" went away QUICKLY, after it was EXPOSED as NONSENSE & KNOWINGLY PHONY by the local media.)

    ADDENDA: I trust "snopes" about as far as I can throw them against a strong wind. = "Snopes" has been caught LYING about as often as they told the TRUTH.

    BobK,

    I strongly suspect that you were "fed a plate of bravo sierra" by the main-SLIME MEDIA. - I further suspect that those "targeted individuals" were JUST Trump supporters/voters & nothing more than that. = "The Biden MIS-administration" is FULL of creeps, crooks, assorted HATERS, bigots, sexual deviates, witless fools & LEFTIST KOOKS.

    A person can't equate a militia with the National Guard, whether they are a state NG, or a federal NG. They are not the same in any aspect. The National Guard has a clear chain of command and specific orders and instruction as what to do, and what needs to be done. A militia, is nothing more than a group of individuals running around trying to assume control where they have none, and most times have not a clue as to what they are doing.

    Service members must also be careful not to comment, post, or link to material that violates the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) or Service regulation. Examples include showing contempt for public officials, releasing sensitive information, or posting unprofessional material that is prejudicial to good order and discipline or Service discrediting under the UCMJ.

    Stereotypes can be found anywhere. Cops, doctors, militia, teachers...stop flinging mud at each other and do some homework. Call it like it is. Each state has laws regarding militia. In Texas, a militia must not be in a municipality armed unless permission is granted by Texas authority. They cannot attempt to do the job of police or military. Many other states have laws saying similar. When you enter a public area armed as a militia, start arguing with people, you are legally inciting insurrection. It’s legal to train and be a part of a militia but the intent has to be defensive only and they must answer to state authority.

    On another note: though I do not agree with Axxe55’s outlook on militias, it’s his opinion and he’s a good guy in my book. We all have those events that happen in life that put a shit taste in our mouth.

    I think what can be agreed on is the legality of militia being fine under good intentions. Intentions that protect free speech for example. People may vote to take our guns and voice away but until they physically attempt to do it, a militia cannot act.

    oldag,

    YES, the FAR LEFT did & it is time for all FREE CITIZENS (particularly those of us who served in the US Armed Forces) to TAKE BACK the TRUE MEANING of "militia" from the MORON LEFT & BE PREPARED to DEFEND our REPUBLIC & The US Constitution from "all enemies, foreign & domestic"..

    For those of us who voluntarily TOOK THE OATH of ENLISTMENT, we are all as INDIVIDUALS, still bound by that sacred oath until death.

    just my OPINION, satx

    As this dialog continues it inevitably leads back to the only real solution. The solution lies with the States. The power to do something significant lies with the States. Just as States joined in the lawsuit filed by Texas they will eventually, I believe, once again and in a unified effort simply and plainly reject the B/S coming out of Washington. That States unity will be the signal, the message the tide is indeed turning. Individual state militias may or may not play a role in the outcome I suppose it's going to depend on how far the left intends to push. By current observations I'd say they intend to push it pretty far. It's not going to take years to play out I don't believe time is on the side of the left.

    Save 3 babies from a fire, you’ll be a hero for a day. Suck one dick, and you’ll be a cocksucker for the rest of your life.

    I would personally avoid the word militia.

    I completely disagree. We have to choose to use the words that are in the Constitution AND refuse the other side to frame and smear it. We cannot accept redefinition of words. Our failure to defend the words and meaning of the Constitution is our own downfall.

    Sam7sf,

    So my observation about a group of neighbors organizing themselves, arming themselves AFTER A SEVERE STORM for THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD DEFENSE is NOT a good example of the LEGITIMATE USE of "common militia", in your opinion??
    (After HUGO tore up the Charlotte area & the recovery from the hurricane was finally proceeding successfully, the sheriff LAUDED the various SELF-APPOINTED "local defense groups" for helping out with R&R, local defense & other CRITICAL recovery actions AND that the groups could "now stand down & get some well-deserved rest". - SOME of the local volunteers had been "on duty" for 4-5 days W/O much if any un-interrupted rest/sleep. The rest had "gotten occasional naps" for an hour or two at a time.)

    NOTE: Speaking of "pitching in where it was NEEDED badly", a group of "self-appointed housewives" took it upon themselves to FEED everybody that needed to eat.
    (TRUTHFULLY, had it NOT been for them bringing the RADIO TEAM sandwiches, pie, beans/cornbread, sweet rolls, coffee, iced tea, etc. we radio operators could NOT have kept commo going for so many hours W/O a "break". = I was "rather typical", as I was ON the radio for 16-18 hours per day for the 1st week plus. - Usually 12 on & 3-4 off. = NO BRAG. FACT.)
    THANK YOU, "LUNCH LADIES", YOU WERE MAGNIFICENT.

    SATX,

    Hence maybe 2 of the 12 were Trump supporters but took it a little too far!

    Bobk


    BobK,

    GIVEN the OUTRIGHT hatefulness of some of Biden's "inner circle" toward the ARNG, my GUESS is that it was ZERO of 12 who "took it a little too far".= The MORON LEFT obviously HATES the NATIONAL GUARD & (I suspect) all other GIs, too.
    (ONE "advisor" to the new POTUS called the Guardsmen a "crowd of STUPID, UNEDUCATED A--H---s in matching clothes." = She cannot DENY her vulgar comment, as it was on video & posted on the WWW.)

    Bob, As you are a vet too, I suggest that it's time for you to STOP defending the DIMocRAT HATERS.

    just my OPINION, satx
