I'm only posting this for this one reason. 1) I always am mildly amused, each and every time, things such as this appear before my eyes:

When militia members have a professional background with the military or police, it enhances the ability of these groups to execute sophisticated and successful operations. It also helps them convey a patriotic image that obscures the security threat they present.

The bar in America is so low. These groups come up with sophisticated operations.

Yeah. Charlottesville for example. That took some on-fire sophistry. Tiki torches from the dollar store, loud angry white men in khakis. That is main street America's idea of sophistication.
