The National Guard is the “organized” militia in these United States.
But the “unorganized” militia is made up of ALL able-bodied men (OK, probably ladies too these days) from ages (I believe) 17 to 45. (I will gladly accept all corrections to these numbers.)
Like it or not, if you fall within these ages you are legally a member of the United States militia, draft or no draft. Did you see what Ukraine did at their border to military-age men trying to flee? Learn from that example.
If the shooting should ever start in earnest, all you Prepper Boys and pissed-off deer hunters might want to think about meeting up with others of like mind. There is strength in numbers, don’t you know.
Just imagine what kind of Pearl Harbor type surprise China could pull off with a half million troops already stationed in our backyards. And large numbers of our troops sitting in faraway lands.
what about the approximately 350,000 chicom students already in our colleges and universities? Some have already been identified as members of the PLA.
It turns out that every State is authorized by Congress to create and maintain an organized “state defense force,” aka State militia, not National Guard, and completely under the control of the governor. I believe almost all of the States, maybe 46, have done so. Patriots who think they might be ready to fight should investigate this option in their own State. If your State’s militia is inactive, start putting pressure on legislators to activate and publicize.
