Willing to become a citizen soldier, spending part of your time securing the borders of SC?
Well of course he is. Haven't you seen his photos? So long as the militia uniform is a camo jacket and sweatpants, he is good to go.
Local government? You prepared to dig holes to bury your garbage? Willing to give up that low slung go-buggy for something that will navigate over unpaved terrain? Ready to dig your own well for water? Generate your own power?
