I saw a lot of the debate over the creation of the group in
misc.survivalism and alt.politics.org.batf. I also learned enough
about the reality of militias (as opposed to the theory) to be a bit
skeptical.
Basically, the modern militia movement is indeed centered around
individuals training and becoming well-regulated (the 18th century
definition of that word, not the 20th century definition) soldiers.
Most of these militias are anti-big government and
pro-individual-rights/Constitutional-rights. However, from what I've
read a fair percent are also conspiracy theorists, rumor mongers,
paranoids, religous fanatics, etc.
