With regard to militias, I hope Oregon has better ones than the Midwest. I went to some meetings back during the Clinton years, and a “field training exercise” with a buddy who was associating with one, and all I ever saw were absolute misfits. Mostly middle aged men with their bellies hanging over their belts, talking about fighting the government with their sks and whatever their ALICE pack could carry. The “FTX” was a disaster. I wondered if some of the guys were going to survive the 2.5 mile ruck march on a gravel road. Like I said, militias here never showed me anything but losers. Maybe elsewhere it is different. Regardless, ain’t gonna be no militias saving the day. We’ll have to do that ourselves if we want it done.
