Likely, you can't baffle me with BS having been raised in NY but spent 10 years in Boston. As anyone that lives there will tell you our nation's history is not hidden but for all to view. There are historical places, historical walking and driving tours. You can into the old church's of Boston and the state and read the historical records. The grave yards are even amazing when it comes to viewing the past. There are signs everywhere of what historical event happened at that sight.  So having some interpret the organization of the militia at the time is painful. It was what was necessary a few hundred years ago and done when this nation was a mere 13 colonies that lies between the ocean and the mountains ranges of the East Coast.  Today the US has an army that spends 5 times more than any other civilized nation. Even the militia's in this nation that are formed have no real cause, they have no clue how they will fit into the "end" of times scenario that runs through their heads.
