Go ahead and post it. I’ve gotten… delayed… a little bit O_o.

As you wish:

3. Don’t be too complacent about militia incompetence. While their bringing in sharpshooters of their own at the Bundy ranch was an escalation and, as Goddamnfrank makes the case, likely criminal, it did show at least some of those people had given thought to what would otherwise have been a key law enforcement advantage and thus were ready to substantially counter it.

Most militia-types are a bunch of foolish yahoos, but it only takes having a small number of actually competent men in the wrong place at the wrong time to have a raid turn very bloody.

I know you’ve thought about this yourself, William, but I’ve found to wise to provide such reminders to help the group as a whole avoid the Pitfall of Hubris.
