Watchmen of Indiana

[Maddawg]

I am the Commanding Officer of the Watchmen of Indiana....Some may ask who are the Watchmen of Indiana...well....

We the Watchmen are a Civil Preparedness group. We are a subsidiary and supporter of Watchmen of America. We are American Citizens; men and women, that have come together as a group united by our moral beliefs, and to live by and under the Constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights. We are a group of people that have come together with the same mindset of being prepared for the worst-case scenarios that could fall upon us, whether it is man made disasters, natural disasters, or an economic collapse. Together as a group we stand a much higher chance of survival. Also, can you answer your children and grand children honestly when they ask you.....

"What was America like when it was FREE???"

Looks good. Anyone in command in Indianapolis?

 

[sloughfoot]

Sigh. Why don't you guys just join up with the legal, constitutional militia. There are plenty of them around.

We have plenty of self created militias around here. They are called Crips, Bloods, Latin Kings, MS13, Outlaws MC and many more.

We don't need another self created militia in my AO. Please stay away.

But if I was to join your group, could I be a Colonel too? But, who will issue my Commision? Have you ever seen an actual Commision? Or do we decide on Saturday morning in the coffe shop who gets to be the Colonel next month?

These threads are tiresome, but I am sure you will get lots of responses from eager, innocent volunteers. As for me, I have you guys figured out.

Here we go. I am ready.....Fire away.

sloughfoot your right on the money man.we dont need groups who come together and form there own laws and there own rank structure (thats how we got in this mess in the first place) we need responsible citizens who communicate with each other that way when SHTF, were ready to come together as a whole and fix it.
too many people want to take charge and run around barking orders because they believe that they know what is best for everyone.
everyone needs their own personal survival plan because when it goes down, you have to look after you first and formost(family included)

get involved with your community or just your neighbors and have a plan to survive if things go south.dont worry about forming another government as soon as ours collapses...somebody will already be 10 steps ahead of you and be ready to take that spot, and if they cant handle it well get him out and get someone who can in there.

wish it was that simple though, im living in an old west fairy tale.sorry guys...didnt wanna get nobodys hopes up

 

[BillyT]

I think have separate "militias" is a decent idea.

I also don't care much for how any overrated cermony regarding the handing out of rank. Pvt or full bird colonel. Men follow leadership, courage and honor.

If you think militias are stupid, fine. If you think they're full of ineffective outdated training, then step up. I see man with a plan. Someone doing something. Founders were abunch of irregulars and pretty much considered trash by the Brits.. just saying.

Individuals will fall & communities will thrive.

Best of luck to ya Maddawg, I was a pretend Colonel once, but I was commanding a bunch of air-soft players & not a bunch of militia members.

You'd probably be very wise to keep a good attorney on retainer, all of the liability (both criminal & civil) involved with something like that would be way way way to risky for me.

 

[sloughfoot]

BillyT, you have been mis-informed.

The Colonial Militias were authorized by the Colonial Governments and were ultimately under the command and control of the Governor. The County's Militia Officers were commissioned by the Governor and the number of troops were authorized by the same authority.

The Militia system was in place for about 200 years before the American Revolution against the Crown of England.

The history is there, it has been forgotten.

Massacres, and all kinds of travesties against civilians have all been committed by self created militias.

i do not want a repeat of the Kansas raids and town burnings during the war between the states.

 

[sctsniper]

once again sloughfoot hit the nail right one the head.

who are the deciders on whether or not their country has a military,who appoints and awards the ranks in the military,who actually gives the orders and makes the rules for the military?????

CIVILIANS

no history lesson will be given today by me, that is for you and the history books.
however the facts remain...governments are formed first,they decide everything else.how many branches,how many personnel,location,and structure..

who appointed those men their ranks who fought against the brits?certainly not themselves or each other...

 

[sctsniper]

just checked out your website.i see that your a marine (no such thing as former brother) and i see where your coming from, i see the concerns you have and i respect your initiative for trying to make a difference. i do

but on a personal level, most marines i no and i am included in this... is that one of the reasons we are getting out is because of the whole rank structure b/s.

theres a time and a place for giving orders to make sure the job gets done,but i for one will not have someone telling me where to go,when i can come back, and most definitely who to eliminate anymore without knowing for a fact that that person deserves what i am about to send.

i can tell everyone of you from personal experience in this "war on terror" that most of the time when someone higher than you that sits in an office and gets his intel from his buddy who says theyll make 2.4 billion buy eliminating a certain person...is completely WRONG.

no more taking false orders for this guy.no more taking orders period...ill utilize the skills that i have for the right reasons and reasons only i can explain.

some people need killin,true...some do not.
let me be the deciding factor on that one.

so who exactly promoted you to COL. anyway? civilians dont do rank, except for G
did you work your way up from LT?

ALSO: is it possible considering my military background and the high number of missions ive been on, could i apply for your position?ive always wanted to be a master guns,could i get that. ive been to Iraq three times and Afghanistan twice, in 3 years.

I CAN NOT AND WILL NOT REVEAL ANY INFORMATION REGUARDING PREVIOUS OR FUTURE MISSIONS. SO PLEASE DO NOT ASK. (I GET THAT ALOT)
THANK YOU

O goody, another militia...

I'm curious, who do you answer too?

Do you work with the Indiana Guard Reserve? You know, the real militia. Do you have authorzation to where bdu's? Can I see said authorization? Also your charter from the Indiana State Assembly would be nice? Or do I have to give a total stranger all my personal info before hand?

I saw your website. Did you fill sandbags during any of indianas' floods? Or is your group just about the gun's? It did say natural disasters, did it not?

Just as a side note, I too an former military. Make with the credentials then we'll go from there.

 

[Kutnupe14]

Though I'm not a big fan of militias, I will hold my tongue. However, I'm curious, which version of the Constitution, which most militias swear to uphold, do they recognize? Do you go with the original sans the Amendments after the Bill of Rights, or down a bit further. I think this is a legitimate question.

 

[Scutter01]

I have yet to see any militia made up of anything other than self-appointed command-level officers. Who digs the latrines?

 

[Rookie]

The simple fact that he decided to try to create more interest by spamming is a turn off for me and the reason I won't even bother going to his website.

With that being said, I've decided that I'm a fifty six star general. Scutter grab a shovel.

 

[Scutter01]

I've just promoted myself to Supreme Overlord Admiral of the Combined Freedom Forces of Indiana. YOU grab a shovel.

[Rookie]

Well that sucks. WHY CAN'T I EVER BE IN CHARGE?

I'm forming a new militia and YOU CAN'T JOIN!

Exactly. And I am going trust my families safety and security to crackpots from the net?

And I will be the shadowy character that is always in the background controlling what the leader says and does... patience my puppet. We will take control shortly. bwahahaha
