THE FACE OF THE MILITIAS BY JOHAN PERSSON
The Arizona Guard is training in order to start patrolling the US-Mexican border. They do not like to call themselves a militia, rather defenders of a free state. They believe that Arizona is being invaded by Mexican drug cartels and are convinced that US politicians turn a blind eye to the border problems, as US companies make money off undocumented workers. Many members are ex military from Iraq and Afghanistan.The militia movement is marching again. With two crucial ingredients present Ð economic downturn and a Democratic president Ð Americans are once again stockpiling weapons. The militias are getting prepared, not for a war with the government, but to defend themselves against it. (KEYSTONE/KONTINENT/Johan Persson)
