There you go playing fast and loose with the words again. You did not present them as volunteer units, which become a form of REGULARS upon joining into the federal army. Your post focused on militias specifically and even went so far as to change the name designation of a volunteer unit to a militia unit despite the absence of the latter from any historical record.
Last I checked, BTW, it was standard operation to organize volunteer companies under a federal officer structure, arm them from the regular army's arsenals, and train them in the military command of that army. You've provided no reason to believe that this would not have been the case with the colorado volunteers that you dishonestly attempted to pass off as simple militiamen.
CR #134 - "And every loyal State and Territory in the West provided an allotment of militia, many of whom freed up Federal regulars to return east."
Since you are a little slow on the uptake, I'll explain it to you more thoroughly. "Militia – a body of citizen soldiers as compared to professional soldiers." "Regular - A professional soldier." These are commonly used definitions of these words. So let's recast my state for your better understanding:
The states and territories sent citizen soldiers to free up some of the professional soldiers to go east.
Now, how hard is that to understand? In your case, it must be very hard; about as hard as that thick skull of yours.
Since this is such a one-sided argument, and really a waste of my time, I'm going to give you the last word - so long as you don't perpetuate any more lies. Please explain how you could misunderstand such a simple idea.
