>Maybe we need to form a new militia
Our cats shall be well trained. Too bad they are not better equipped. How about requiring our local congress-person to provide man portable anti-aircraft and anti-armor capabilities to the militia of these United States?
It might be a good meme for the right purpose. Earlier I proposed this:
>How about requiring our local congress-person to provide man portable anti-aircraft and anti-armor capabilities to the militia of these United States?
Based on what has happened in Ukraine, of course.
>to stop evil Putin
Excellent contribution!
"Due to the recent developments in our essential and favorite ally, The Republic of Ukraine, The Congress of these United States, assembled here … blah, blah blah … deems it essential that the militia of these United States as defined in 10 U.S. Code § 246 shall hereby be equipped in the latest anti-armor, anti-aircraft, anti-personnel, and anti-vessel equipment suitable to repel any invasion with whatever force is necessary to stop the evil Putin." Thanks, Anon!
>Let's start a MILITIA!
There is no need. We have one:
10 U.S. Code § 246 - Militia: composition and classes
(a)The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard.
(b)The classes of the militia are—
(1)the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and
(2)the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia.

Anon is simply advocating that the US militia should be adequately equipped to meet the threat portrayed by the US media and other published government and insider opinions. If the threat is that serious, and the Ghost of Kyiv and the brave Ukrainian military have fallen to the onslaught of Putin's minions, perhaps the US citizen militia should be strengthened with the necessary armaments now. It might make a good meme.
Oh, and yes, for what it is worth I would love to be a part of the 'Rocket Cats Brigade'. I have a '63 Zouave and red pants.
Yes, for the rifle, not for the 'Zouave' identity imposed upon me by by peers. Wonderful .58 cal from EuroArms 25 years ago.
> I am planning a victory parade. How do we know when we won?
When the free beer is served at the parade, Anon.
“I want the New York firemen, for there are no more effective men in the country, and none with whom I can do so much. They are sleeping on a volcano at Washington, and I want men who are ready at any moment to plunge into the thickest of the fight.” [i]
On April 18, 1861, 24-year-old Elmer Ellsworth pleaded with Horace Greeley, editor of the New York Tribune, to allow him to recruit in New York City.
Several military units left New York City for Washington between April 19 and 29—the Sixth New York, The Fifth and Eighth Massachusetts, and even the famous Silk Stocking Brigade–the Seventh New York–darlings of the wealthy. It is doubtful, however, if any regiment created the excitement of Ellsworth’s Fire Zouaves. The Zouaves left New York City on April 29 amid colorful, emotional celebrations.
"“the Zouaves were an unruly bunch, spoiling for a fight, and when they got into Alexandria they may have felt they were already in the thick of it. So Ellsworth may have wanted to get that flag down quickly to prevent trouble.”
At the Marshall House, Barber adds, “Colonel Ellsworth just happened to meet the one person he didn’t want to meet”—innkeeper James Jackson, a zealous defender of slavery (and, says Barber, a notorious slave abuser) with a penchant for violence.
Ellsworth approached the inn with only four troopers. Finding no resistance, he took down the flag, but as he descended to the main floor, Jackson fired on Ellsworth at point-blank range with a shotgun, killing him instantly. One of Ellsworth’s men, Cpl. Francis Brownell, then fatally shot Jackson."

Having fired a .58 caliber rifle, held a sword-bayonet, and now seeing those rifles and bayonets and the Napolean cannon and the flags and the implied suffering … I have to ask. Why are we still fighting one another? Does where we live really matter? Who did this to us?
