How to Start and Train a Militia Unit

What's the back-story here? Who is George Westmoreland? Where did this pamphlet come from?

Why don't you call this what it is – a terrorist's manual.

[...] want to suggest that the attitudes reflected by the sort of people who are handing out pamphlets on “Hot to Start and Train a Militia Unit” over at your local gun show are typical of the modern American [...]

A compare-and-contrast with those “Al Qaeda manuals” would certainly be interesting. Perhaps they were Arabic translations of Grow Yourself A Militia.

Ya think? : )

Can't you just imagine Faux news going nuts if you replaced all the characters with Arab looking folks?

“Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of.”
James Madison, Federalist No. 48, February 1, 1788

George Mason: “I ask you sir, who are the militia? They consist now of the whole people.” (Elliott,
Debates, 425-426)

Richard Henry Lee: “A militia, when properly formed, are in fact the people themselves…and
include all men capable of bearing arms.” (Additional letters from the Federal Farmer, at 169, 1788)

James Madison: “A WELL REGULATED militia, composed of the people, trained to arms, is the
best and most natural defense of a free country.” (1st Annals of Congress, at 434, June 8th 1789,
emphasis added.

Patrick Henry: “The people have a right to keep and bear arms.” (Elliott, Debates at 185)

Thomas Jefferson: “Laws that forbid the carrying of arms…disarm only those who are neither
inclined or determined to commit crimes. Such laws only make things worse for the assaulted and
better for the assassins; they serve to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man
may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.” (1764 Letter and speech from T.
Jefferson quoting with approval an essay by Cesare Beccaria)

Benjamin Franklin: Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary
safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.” (Nov 11 1755, from the Pennsylvania Assembly's reply to
the Governor of Pennsylvania.)

George Mason: “To disarm the people is the most effectual way to enslave them.” (3 Elliot,
Debates at 380)

Noah Webster: “Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed, as they are in
almost every country in Europe.” (1787, Pamphlets on the Constitution of the US)

George Washington: “A free people ought to be armed.” (Jan 14 1790, Boston Independent
Chronicle.)

Thomas Jefferson: “No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.” (T. Jefferson papers,
334, C.J. Boyd, Ed. 1950)

James Madison: “Americans have the right and advantage of being armed, unlike the people of
other countries, whose people are afraid to trust them with arms.” (Federalist Paper #46)

“When a strong man, fully armed, guards his house, his possessions are safe.” (Matthew 11:21)

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” (2 Amendment to the Constitution of the United States)

[...] article, but it is far more jarring to actually see what he references. Also he takes pages from How To Start and Train a Militia Unit and scans [...]

Because it is not.

The origin of the Molotov Cocktail here is wrong. The Molotov Cocktail gets it's name from the Finns, who used it to mock the Soviets as they tried to invade.

Do they not have Google where you're from?

Westmoreland and Vietnam. Look it up.

Dude craw out from under your XBOX.

Don't you kids learn anything in school these days??

Googling for Westmoreland and Viet Nam brings up a whole lot of results for *William* Westmoreland, the (in)famous US General during the Viet Nam war, and a (former) member of the United States Army.

How is that relevant to the author of the manual, Maj. John Westmoreland, formerly of the United States Marine Corps?

Perhaps you need to Google a bit yourself…

Let me put this in terms you might understand: LOL

The molotov cocktail I know of is made by mixing equal parts of gas with concetrated sulfuric acid in a bottle. Then mix equal amounts of sugar and pottasium chlorate, add this mixture to water, soak a rag paper ect.. with the chlorate/sugar, rubberband it to the outside of the bottle and throw at target. The sulfuric acid ignites the chlorate/sugar and the whole thing burns without using a direct flame. The sugar/chlorate/water dosen't have to be dry. have your sulfuric acid/gas mixture ready and the chlorate/sugar/water ready, soak the cloth attach to bottle throw and poof instant ignition. Safe to store chlorate/sugar/water premixed, just keep it away from the sulfuric acid!

I want to know how to start a militia in ohio. the info out there is scattered and I can't find a direct answer. Can any one help me with this?

Suck it up, buttercup – that's all that's been left us by lackwitted minds like yours. For your edification — not that you actually care — the Sons of Liberty, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, et al, would now be defined as a “members of a terrorist organization” by your buddies inside the Beltway…they had only real educations and their wits to go on, though – they didn't need to be deprogrammed, first.

I recommend getting off the internet for a while, and try flipping through a dead-tree book or five hundred — if touching the the purloined majesty of Mother Nature doesn't offend you overly much.

Try to stay away from “public” militia groups, as they almost certainly have at least one person reporting to the Feds.

If you've never been in the military, I recommend joining a paintball team – it's the closest thing to “realistic” training you will get outside of the military at a price you can afford…and you may find “friends” in these clubs if you look hard enough.

Just remember, though: the guy egging you on to blow something up is always the FBI agent.
