....to be listed as domestic terrorists. However, when I left active duty into the USMCR (reserve) they warned us to stay away from and definitely don't join any local militias. Specifically named was the Michigan Militia, since I was based in Michigan. I don't remember the exact words as it was over 20 years ago but it was something to the effect of remember you oath, to defend the Constitution, this country, against ALL enemies, foreign and domestic. Meaning they are viewed by the military as a domestic enemy. We were warned that we could be charged if we participated while actively serving in the military.
