Militia formations are legal rights of citizens, however in the event of an emergency or need, the militias MUST obey the commands of the Governor of
that state, providence, commonwealth.
The Government CANNOT disband a militia. The President of the United States CANNOT take over a militia.
States are not supposed to keep standing militias, except for the single organized militia that is the states defense force (known as State National
Guard) which was controlled under the command of the Governors until George Bush somehow managed to take control of all 51 State Guards and sent them
to Iraq.
Bush is the first president in history to take command from the governors.
Any militia not sanctioned, funded etc by the state is considered an Unorganized Militia.
In the war of 1812 the last time unorganized militias where used on a large scale, some state's refused to allow their militias to cross state lines
to defend other states.. New York for instance sat out of the war for a good long while, until the British crossed into New York territory did the
unorganized militias under their governor attack the invading forces.
Not many people understand that every state is an independent nation, witha constitution and thus a right to self preservation before any other
state.. this includes the legal allowance of unorganized militias.
