Don't worry about these milita turds My observations as a infantry vet [View all]

My neighbor is one and he now made friend on Facebook so our local militia has grown to three my neighbor his son and their friend . Several weeks ago I was out walking and I stopped and talked with them as they were heading out to get some range time.
My observations

Their well supplied on flags my neighbor flys
American flag
Rebel flag on his flag pole
A trump pence 2020 flag on his porch

Fatigues yes they had on camo fatigues with boonie soft hat not sure why you have to wear fatigues as civilian I don’t think it helps with marksmanship. Speaking from experience I knew some dudes that couldn’t hit H20 standing three feet away in fatigues.

Battle rattle they all have AR- 15 problem here is they only have five twenty round magazine’s between the three of them. So any suppression fire is gonna be lacking. Me personally I always preferred thirty round magazines and made sure my people carried them as well. Yes I was a spray and pray type with my M-16 put out rounds.

Personal gear two of them had web gear with the web suspenders one just had web belt. And between the three of them they have three ammo pouches and one canteen. As for rations the Mrs militia packed them sandwiches for their cooler. Our Newfie was sniffing the cooler his tail was wagging hey how about hooking a Newfie up fellas.

Personally I’m not that impressed and I think these three. Would have a hard time holding off a ground attack by a platoon of Girl Scouts. None of them has ever served this republic so it’s like kids playing soldier when we were young.
