Thoughts on homegrown militia?

Great points BigPaul, all of them. I was indeed referring to ww2 spirits as an example of historical reference and I am we'll aware of the scum that has replaced 90% of the population which was a motivation to this train of thought.

Made from those people you may end up with that pull together for the greater good of community and so a natural trust will develop and cement relationships for the sake of self preservation.

i still think you need to take of the "rose tinted glasses" my friend! i think there will be far more of the scum you mentioned left alive post SHTF than of the other kind, when we can get rid of the scum or maybe after they kill each other off then maybe then and only then can we form any kind of militia or police, personally i dont think there will be enough people in any one area to come together after the collapse but as this suits my own plans i will stop there!
