Are you a Rambo? It seems like we have more Rambo's now than anything else. A Rambo is someone who is "ready" to fight but not ready to Join the Militia. A Rambo is someone that has their garage packed to the ceiling with ammo but isn't going to help their neighbor in time of need. A Rambo is someone that has all the cool gadgits for their $3000 rifle but doesn't understand that if you stand alone, you will die alone! A rambo thinks that when his house is surrounded by 60 to 100 men that he will take them all out just like he saw in the movies! This isn't the movies and there is no happy ending for those that think they are a rambo.
Why do I bring this all up? We at the Central Texas Militia have been plagued by hundreds of request to join but when the time comes to train or meet only 5 to 10 regulars ever show up. Afterwards I get the excuses that either they had plans or they are already a "marksman" with their rifle and don't need to train.
Its time to deprogram yourself from the media telling you that the Militia is bad. Its time to turn off the sports channel that keeps you in a mild stuppor. Its time to Join the Militia and start doing something!
With July 4th just passing by it reminds me that the Militia was responsible for our freedom. There was no Army, navy, marines or airforce at the time of the revolution, just ordinary men who choose to be the one to stand with their neighbor in time of need! The continental army was just made up of militia that chose to sign a contract to stay on for a certain time. Where is the dignity and respect for the Militia? We need to honor our founding fathers and Militia by keeping the tradition alive!
