Its very possible that you've based your opinions of ALL militia groups on
a limited subset of the whole, a Loud and vocal minority, if you will -
and that be relying solely on anecdotal evidence you're reaching an
illogical and erronous conculsion.  I admit, that loud and vocal minority
in many cases does indeed trouble me, particularly their credulous and
specious wild ramblings about aNew World ORder - nevertheless, I refuse to
allow myself to conclude that all Militias are as such purely on such
unreliable and Anecdotal evidence.

Odd, the people I learned it from were very well trained EOD and SF folks.
Precisely the first people I would trust with the blasting caps AND with
the detotator.  Maybe you need to widen your circle of friends. *grin*
