Same here. Right now, any named "militia" in our society currently has two connotations associated with. Anti-government extremists and/or White Supremacists. If a movement to resist an oppressive government were to materialize, one would have to make sure it is properly constituted, less you throw your lot in with the nutjobs.

I had a "friend" in the USAF once tell me all sorts of things "Turner Dairy" sort of things and things about how wonderful Hitler and the Nazis where.I guess he thought I felt the same way as he did not sure why at the time I was married to a Korean woman and he knew this. Of course some Koreans are a bit racist.

I ran into my own dealings with racism in the USAF. Nothing as spectacular. I was stationed at Keesler for a year or so, and found out just how the southern boys stationed there really felt about some people. Thankfully, one day i learned i was "in the club" by virtue of not being black. "Yeah when we saw your name and heard you was coming, we thought you was black. But, you're alright". After I heard that, they were a little more open with me. I just kept my mouth shut. And koreans can be very racist themselves. They are a very proud and stupid people. I wonder if that comment is racism too?
