My thought is too many caps.
But seriously, I’ve always been horrified by the concept that the militia consists of all able-bodied males. For then it would seem the feds are empowered to conscript, which is among the chiefest of gubmint evils. No, there is no latent militia. That’s never how it was. The militia is the activmobilized: those whom have been mobilized. The pool out of which militias are culled is not itself the militia.
How it used to work is in time of emergency the colonial legislators would call for volunteers, assigning quotas to local recruiters. The recruiters would go around signing people up. Should they not meet their quota, then men could be drafted. Once inducted the men were part of the militia, not before.
All able-bodied males never were the militia. The militia is that group which has been called up. The feds never had the power to draft. It was the states’ job to raise militias. Once they were in existence the feds could use them, in a limited manner. They do and did NOT have the power to mobilize the citizenry.
There was no draft ~ all nobles were part of a warrior caste. You were born to it.
