The common stereotype is that Militia Members are redneck racists that have connections to the KKK and Neo Nazi Parties.

Infact, most militia members are citizens that are over prior service with the military and wish to continue to keep their training useful and also normal folks that wish to be prepared incase something major happens like an invasion, war, civil disturbance, hurriance, flooding, riots, and other events.

The Watts Riots and Hurricane Katrina are huge reasons why some folks join militia groups. They don't want to wait on government support and enforcement. So they train to do it themselves.

Most militia groups are CERT certified and work in cooperation with local Law Enforcement and community.

Others just want to be able to defend their family, commnity, and country incase the SHTF.
 
I don't see that picture as particularly racist, Neo Nazi or KKK-like. They do seem to see Russian-made things as hostile though, which is a little racist (the 2 AH/CHs are Mi-24s)

It can't be racist since "Russian" isn't a race. The target audience lived through the cold war. If you have to put tech on an ad that will be most captivating for that particular demographic, what other choice is there besides Russian?

"black", "white" etc aren't races either, yet "racism" denotes prejudice against ethnic groups, religion etc in the wider sense.

American for example. Like "traitors", or spies among the military. Aren't militas also meant for the eventuality that the governments turns agaisnt the people?
 
Correct, the Constitution of the United States of America allows it's people to over throw and unjust government. The AMerican Government is held in place by checks and balances.

The Constitution is part of that check and balance. The citizens of the United States of America are the other part. If the government breaks it's end of the deal. The people have the right to take action.

Hence why a civil war was fought over 100 years ago. Same reasonb why people to this day form militias.

OMG! Why would the English sailors let the ship have some rusted on their aircraft carrier's hull?

"Black" and "white" are used to denote race. "Russian" isn't a race any way you cut it.

Main Entry: rac·ism
Pronunciation: 'rA-"si-z&m also -"shi-
Function: noun
1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race
2 : racial prejudice or discrimination

While you do have a point with your second comment, how, exactly, are you going to depict US traitors rampaging through US neighborhoods on a poster? Whether or not Russia is our enemy, the USSR certainly was. It's a completely moot point considering no insignia are visible on the craft, though. I suppose the poster could be considered racist against Hind helicopters, though...
 
I'm glad the Iranians are training to fight us in open feilds. Not in the cities. I hope we never have to go into Iran on the ground. But if we do im happy that there training up to get their ass kicked in open feilds were the US can bring every advantage they have over Iran to bear.
