The Bretonian Citizens Army

[bluntpencil2001]

There are many differences between the WT and AA and this faction idea. For one; WT had very poor roleplay, often tried to go against the orders of the BAF, and were general lolwuts with no organizations or goals besides 'We want pvp.'

Well, I found that Coin and a few others were most reasonable. Sure, I disagreed with the premise, but effectively, what you are saying is one group (Civilian paramilitaries) can do X, but another (WT and co)cannot. On top of that, you don't really address Coin's point, that of redundancy. However, that is somewhat irrelevant in of itself, as the point has been raised, taken into consideration, and found wanting already.

I like. I liken this to the US's National Guard before that entitiy became another part of the US Army itself. Men and women who are civilians and when needed put on a uniform and go out and aid the actual Army or help maintain the status quo back home. I like a lot.

They aren't civilians. When their uniform is on, they are military personnel. A part-time soldier is still a soldier. In fact, the UK has near enough the exact same thing in the Territorial Army. However, a militia is nothing like part-time soldiers.

The closest thing in the States would be the Minutemen and militias that fought against the Redcoats in the War of Independence. In the UK, there is no real parallel (although some Canadians may beg to differ regarding 1812).
