The Bretonian Citizens Army

[kuth]

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).

Perhaps you should read then, Blunt. I said I liken this to the US's National Guard before it became part of the Army. Since, if you have any knowledge of the Army National Guard, you'd understand it was born in 1636. It was originally known as the militia.

Here, since you seem to think you know it all, yet are sorely lacking. A link to the National Guard's history. Not to mention it states this militia was based of its English equivalent, of which you claim they never had.

Zelot.......you are a history nut? I did not know this. I will perhaps annoy you on skype one day. I love history but didn't pursue it, instead I went into networking.
