A fanatical militia group which included members of the U.S. Military were behind two murders.

...."Prosecutors in rural Long County, near the sprawling Army post Fort Stewart, said the militia group of active and former U.S. military members spent at least $87,000 buying guns and bomb components. They allege the group was serious enough to kill two people – former soldier Michael Roark and his 17-year-old girlfriend, Tiffany York – by shooting them in the woods last December in order to keep its plans secret."...

This type of militia is insidious and is a case of several crazy people getting together.

OCD said "Do you know what a militia is in the US, Duncan? it has nothing to do with our military. militia, Duncan. Militia "

In the UK the PM has recommended work based groups owning the 'business'.

And far more Territorial Army personnel at work and at war!

Sarcastic Dots: This is only going to get worse. As we get further away from the time of the constitution's inception -- the language used, context behind them and what it lacks due to technological advances (see anything to do with airplanes and shit) -- the more people are going to misinterpret the original piece of text. Like the bible, Shakespeare and anything else, as language evolves the original meaning behind the text is lost on people who aren't correctly educated on the subject.

OCD_OCD: Duncan, that particular militia group happened to have members of the military in it.

Militias are not part of the U.S. Military.

OCD_OCD: Oy, Duncan.

A civil militia is:

a body of citizen soldiers as distinguished from professional soldiers.

a body of citizens organized in a paramilitary group and typically regarding themselves as defenders of individual rights against the presumed interference of the federal government.

OCD_OCD: They are armed individuals participating in a group.

Professional soldiers are part of the US military. They are not private citizens.

OCD_OCD: Here, I'll copy and paste it for you:

FEMA concentration camps exist in the mind of a particularly loopy bunch of conspiracy theorists (or Deus Ex players who really need to put down the mouse and keyboard), who believe that mass internment facilities have been built across the continental United States by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, in preparation for a future declaration of martial law.

Though exact claims about the purpose and nature of the camps vary from one crank to another, a common trope is that they will be used to detain dissenting US citizens after the consolidation of the North American Union in preparation for the establishment of a one-world government. The camps allegedly come complete with boxcars for moving people around and plastic coffins for burying them. (Why not just burn the corpses Nazi-style? Or, since the proponents of this theory also seem to think environmentalists are the root of all evil, wouldn't the bad guys be using biodegradable boxes? ...what? They've got to be environmentalists - boxcars are a form of mass transit. Wake up, sheeple!)
FEMA, naturally, is the shadow government which will run the show after the puppet government dissolves through a series of executive orders issued by the President. The idea that FEMA could pull off enough of a masterstroke to seize power is surprisingly widespread, considering their massive display of incompetence during Hurricane Katrina.
There are several videos purporting to show footage of the camps, as well as shots of ominous-looking fences and webpages listing locations of over 800 camps, allegedly all fully guarded and staffed full-time despite being completely empty.[1][2] In addition to the utter implausibility of such a massive conspiracy being kept totally silent,[3] the evidence is damaged somewhat by the fact that the videos and pictures actually depict everything from National Guard training centers to Amtrak repair stations to North Korean labor camps.[4]
