Unlike National Guards, aren't they mainly just civilians that either volunteered or are conscripted into the units? Which would mean that they aren't bound by the same sense of duty and honor, not to mention chain of command that their US Army compatriots would feel?
I know little about the militia system, but I thought that's how it was set up.

They're preparing to fight with the citizens, not against them.
Of course, that would be another type of conspiracy.
