State Defense Forces are the last line of defense of our Armed Forces


Ya ok

What would be that last line of defense? Nuclear Holocaust !

Just what we need , a bunch of Want -A- Be’s running around playing army, that have all of a week of training in some back woods compound.


LMAO

Hmm I always thought the National Guard was the state's supplement to the regular military.

So you guys have a supplement to a supplement?

Up here we call them army cadets normally :)

Status: offline 		I am not exactly sure but it could be a CDC (civil defense corp) offshoot kinda thing, I know here in Westfield MA we have a Citizens Police force which does train you well in small arms, hand to hand, restraining, offensive driving(yep thats right offensive driving) etc. its 4 full weekends for 3 months, I have been on the waiting list for about 6 months and they do a very extensive background check because you do indeed become a "arm" of the law or at least a thumb. I also remeber vaugly from school that a citizen can execute a binding "citizens arrest". Total sidenote: there is a chain of stores called Ocean State Job Lot here, who three years ago had a sale on fortified C-Rations--chipped beef on toast: Sh*t on a shingle!(they sell everything from tools to mixed nuts to dainties to kids toys-dirt cheap)...so Im set! Gimme my Slim Jim, trustee side arm and point me to da dirty commies!!!

-Crap! Where did all the commies (pinko ones 'specially)go?!?-

I guess it's more fun than playing paintball.

Status: offline 		Having looked over these two referenced sites, it seems clear that this isn't the same thing as the "militia" movement. These people are sanctioned by their state governments, under their direct authority, and specifically "unarmed" as I read it. Major tasking is for emergency relief, search and rescue, and so forth. Not grabbing guns and fighting.

I don't see a problem with this.

Really ?
I read one week training course , one week does not equate to “Boot” by any stretch of the imagination.


Their not soldiers, leave it at that
