Militia Code of Conduct
The militia represents the very highest ideals in human morality where every man and woman respects the life, liberty and property of the individual and takes it as their duty to honor all humanity as being created equal, having a natural right to life, liberty and property and no one should be deprived of it without due process of law. The militia then acts to implement justice and secure the peace. Ethics is the application of morality and morality the knowledge of right from wrong, this then is the code of conduct of the citizen soldier.
1. I am a citizen of a Free State, serving in
the well regulated militia. I am prepared to give my life to
guard and protect my homeland, our common law rights and
liberties and our way of life. This service is a duty of my
citizenship.
2. I will keep and maintain the uniform, equipment, and weaponry
necessary to perform the duties prescribed by the well regulated
militia and will be prepared to mobilize quickly.
3. I will never forget that I am a citizen of a Free State, and
through it, of these United States. I am responsible for my
actions and dedicated to the principles that made this country
free. I will strive to lead an exemplary life and never, by
action or statement, bring discredit to the militia, my country,
or my fellow countrymen.
4. In all cases, I shall endeavor to inform and urge all citizens
to return to the Constitutional Republic our forefathers
envisioned.
5. I will stand by or come to the aid of my brothers of the
militia with whatever means necessary and without question or
concern for my own well-being to ensure due process of law as
stated in the Constitution.
6. I will never misuse my position in the militia for financial
or personal gain, nor will I engage in any activity subversive to
the militia.
7. I will never surrender of my own free will. If, in command, I
will never surrender the members of my command while they have
the means to resist.
8. If I am captured, I will continue to resist by all means
possible. I will make every effort to escape. I will accept
neither parole nor special favors from the enemy.
9. Should I become a prisoner of war, I am bound to give only my
name, rank, and date of birth. I will make no oral or written
statements disloyal to the United States and it's citizens or
harmful to their continued struggle for liberty and freedom.
10. Should I become a prisoner of war, I will keep my faith with
my fellow prisoners, and accept no favors from the enemy. I will
give no information nor take part in any action that might be
harmful to my comrades. If I am a senior, I will take command. If
not, I will obey the lawful orders of those appointed over me and
will support them in every way.
