I was asked by a friend to explain what a Militia is. Also whats a threeper (III%er) etc. What is a Patriot. I am in a hurry but will do my best to explain.
She said most people hear Militia and think White Supremacist,i said in a few cases probably true but most of us see a man as a man.
I said a Militia is a group of Patriots who train to fight together in case needed to fight off enemies of their state or country Foreign or Domestic. I said most of General Washington's troops were Militia not enlisted soldiers. I said many Militia groups were infiltrated by subversive elements to give them a bad name. There may be a few crazies but is this not true of any group of humans? Most are good people who value freedom above all else.
Some groups train for disaster relief.
Militias are made up of regular people who care about their Country. The Founding fathers held Militias in high regard. As a Patriotic American many of us still do.
Foes of Free men and women who are armed see Militias as a threat! I wonder why? Well lets see,armed citizens can fight back if needed.
Unarmed Citizens can be made slaves, forced to do those who have arms bidding. Or you Die history has many many examples of such.
Three Percenters Threepers 3% the III etc
During the Revolution only 3% of American citizens actually took up arms and fought,they were supported by ( numbers vary) somewhere between 6 to 20 % of citizens who even though not actually fighting supplied weapons,money,food,hiding places,information,etc.
So we took up the title 3% like our Comrades before us even though outnumbered we will fight for Freedom. Arms are the last means to accomplish this. Some think we want a civil war. This couldn't be further from the truth.
We merely want to keep what we earn. We would pay fair taxes that were spent on what they were supposed to be spent on! We want to raise our family's as we see fit. We want to be left alone. Most are strong individualist. We don't want Govt phones,we want to earn a living. We do not believe in big Govt just as our Founding fathers did not ..
We do Strongly support the right to keep and bear arms! A right provided by GOD and the CONSTITUTION of THE USA. Anyone seeking to disarm Americans is a Traitor PERIOD!
Patriots
Someone who loves his Country and Supports his Country. My definition not dictionary's .
One can be all the above at the same time! Or a Patriot without being in a Militia. Or a Threeper without being in a Militia. However Militia gives you the support of like minded individuals,if the bullets start flying for whatever reason a group of friends who are trained to fight will increase your odds of living many fold over trying to be Rambo on your own!
All the above love their Country,Freedom,Family.
All the time I have for now,I hope my humble explanation helps some!
God Bless America. God Bless the 3%. God Bless Patriots. God please don't bless the Commies or Socialist or disease ridden liberals.Amen.
