A militia /mᵻˈlɪʃə/ generally is an army or other fighting unit that is composed of non-professional fighters, citizens of a nation or subjects of a state or government who can be called upon to enter a combat situation, as opposed to a professional force of regular, full-time military personnel, or historically, members of the fighting nobility class (e.g., knights or samurai). Unable to hold their own against properly-trained and -equipped professional forces, it is common for militias to engage in guerrilla warfare or defense instead of being used in open attacks and offensive actions.
However, beginning as early as the late 20th century, some militias (particularly officially recognized and sanctioned militias of a government) act as professional forces, while still being "part-time" or "on-call" organizations. For instance, the members of some U.S. Army National Guard and Air National Guard units are considered professional soldiers and airmen, respectively, as they are trained to maintain, and do maintain, the same standards as their "full-time" (active duty) counterparts. Therefore, these professional militia men and women of the National Guard of the United States are colloquially known as "citizen-soldiers" or "citizen-airmen".
The obligation to serve in the militia in England derives from a common law tradition, and dates back to Anglo-Saxon times. The tradition was that all able-bodied males were liable to be called out to serve in one of two organisations.These were the posse comitatus, an ad hoc assembly called together by a law officer to apprehend lawbreakers, and the fyrd, a military body intended to preserve internal order or defend the locality against an invader. The latter developed into the militia, and was usually embodied by a royal warrant. Obviously, service in each organisation involved different levels of preparedness.
With the decay of the feudal system and the military revolution of the sixteenth century, the militia began to become an important institution in English life. It was organized on the basis of the shire county, and was one of the responsibilities of the Lord Lieutenant, a royal official (usually a trusted nobleman). Each of the county hundreds was likewise the responsibility of a Deputy Lieutenant, who relayed orders to the justices of the peace or magistrates. Every parish furnished a quota of eligible men, whose names were recorded on muster rolls. Likewise, each household was assessed for the purpose of finding weapons, armour, horses, or their financial equivalent, according to their status. The militia was supposed to be mustered for training purposes from time to time, but this was rarely done. The militia regiments were consequently ill-prepared for an emergency, and could not be relied upon to serve outside their own counties.
A militia is a military force composed of ordinary citizens.

In the backwoods of Georgia, a controversial, right-wing, "anti-terror" militia group gathers once a month to complete field training exercises under the command of Chris Hill—a.k.a Blood Agent. This militia group, called the Georgia III% Security Force, is part of the Three Percenter movement, which is inspired by the unfounded claim that only three percent of colonists fought against the British in the American Revolution. VICE joins Hill and the Georgia III% Security Force during one of their monthly gatherings to see how they prepare themselves to "defend the Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic" and see what they'll do to protect their guns.

In 2008, the first black president was elected in the United States and the worst financial crisis in almost a century brought the world’s economy to its knees. Since then, a form of domestic terror has been on the rise in America and abroad. But it’s not the kind of terror we’re used to hearing about. Militia groups and neo-nationalists here and around the world have been growing bolder, more popular and more powerful. VICE's Ben Makuch investigates the origins of these militia groups and explores the driving force behind the militia movement today. In order to do so, he travels to the place where it all began: the Michigan State militias.

Crim3s - Militia Μία απόπειρα σύνοψης του κόσμου των ανθρώπων θα μπορούσε να είναι εκείνη που αναφέρεται, ατομικά και συλλογικά, στην κατάσταση επιφυλακής πολέμου. Τα λαμπερά ανθρώπινα όνειρα είναι πεταγμένα και όποιος δεν μπορεί να παραιτηθεί σε διάσταση ύπνωσης για να νιώθει εντάξει, αυτός –χαρακτηρισμένος άλλωστε άρρωστος, τρελός– βρίσκεται μέσα στον φόβο. Η προτροπή –κοινωνική φύσης μας– είναι η υποταγή σε εμπειρίες κλεψιάς, πίστης στο μίσος. Και έχει τόσο καλά αναπτυχθεί η πλεκτάνη, ώστε κι ο άρρωστος, παρότι νιώθει το πουλημένο ψέμα που του κλέβει τα όνειρα και αντιλαμβάνεται ότι η τρέλα ελευθερώνεται τις στιγμές όταν αφήνει τον πόλεμο, ακόμη κι εκείνος βρίσκεται θύμα της επιβεβλημένης –πάντως– ανάγκης για δύναμη, η οποία τον τυφλώνει και δεν δύναται να κοιτάξει έξω από την επικράτ...

Extremist groups are recruiting from the military and police: the very people who are supposed to protect us. In fact, 1 in 10 Capitol rioters had ties to the military, and one-third of active-duty American troops say they’ve witnessed white nationalism in their ranks. With intensive training and firearms experience, their presence in extremist groups presents a pretty dangerous combination. These are the people who, ultimately, decide who lives and who dies.

More guns were sold in the US last year than in any year in recorded history - and leading the self-defense arms race were African Americans, who purchased guns at a rate 60% higher than in 2019. The number of Black people with guns has increased, but with it, the emergence of a deadly double standard when it comes to exercising Second Amendment rights. Black people are four times more likely to be killed by police than white men, and even contemporary gun policy is described as racism in disguise, disproportionately impacting communities of color. VICE News’ Alzo Slade meets the major players arming up the Black community, protecting the Black Community and those who have seen first hand why arming up as a Black person can carry unique and deadly risks.
