    I am a member of the LRU and belong to the 4-th territorial defense unit in the youth branch and I must say that you managed to indeed cover as much as possible about the union in the minimum time that you had. Also I should add that the Riflemen culture goes much more deeper than just combat, as for example the youth program that has 4 different "rank" stages tries to mold the person into someone who is patriotic, can participate in combat (This recently became the bigger goal for the organization) and develop traits of a leader. Further more when it comes to national holidays for example from January to March we have 3 national holidays dedicated to independence for which I believe the majority of Riflemen come and celebrate not because they have to but because they want to dedicate their FREE time which I think is extremely nice. Not only that but the membership fee is not necessarily there for the youth as most schools have a Riflemen club that forms a platoon, for which members don't have to pay and as a matter of fact the teacher who creates it and participates in activities receives some funding for the continuation of these activities for students. Although I am happy to be part of this org. there are some issues with funding as in some cases there is not enough money to update equipment or kits or even receive a uniform or a badge (not to mention the combat branch which need weaponry) as the Union grew so fast after 2022 that the MOD had to increase funding for us. Overall the LRU is one of a kind organization that doesn't seem to exist anywhere else in the world and I am her for it. Thank you for the video!

    Used to be a young riffleman as a teenager(for a total of 4 years). at the time heavy emphasis in our company was directed towards tactics(formations, engaging the enemy, etc.) , landnav, first aid, and so on. though many of us dropped out over years and I myself lost interest in the organization as I kept growing older, however when I joined the military as a volunteer/conscript, the skill package I had from rifflemen days opened to me doors to opportunities that were otherwise closed to most conscripts.

    as an American, the whole "militia" concept has gone from something that formed my country to a bunch of nuts with guns who have no idea how to organize and protiect, but would rather spend weekends in the woods talking about how bad the goverment is and how every person should be armed with AR15 rifles .... as a (responsible) gun owner myself, these groups have a very negative association around them and tend to promote the civil unrest rather than stand ready to do something about it. Very cool that LT has a state-sanctioned version of this with volunteers who are actually TRAINED to do things to HELP the country if called! I say bravo! Very cool!

      @@eruno_ yup - it's in our constitution, but you hit the nail on the head: "well regulated" is the operative phrase - this was a great idea in in 1787 when our constitution was written and we were scared that the King of England could come back, but the reality is, now, we have a professional army - the militias that exist in the USA now are complete fringe groups - either extreme right wingers that think that their group of 20-30 people could stop some kind of invasion or other crazy people who look like they could fight their way out of a restaurant that patrol our southern border, thinking that THEY can solve the problems that the US Border Patrol (with more than 60,000 emplyees, lol) can't. IT has a negative connotation these days - the militias are seen mostly as right-wing "gun nuts", which makes some of uf (responsible gun owners) also look like nuts when we talk about firearms. I think it's mostly an excuse for people to carry their guns openly, talk about freedom and the constitution and try to project to the public that THEY are stronger/smarter/more responsive than our actual government. The concept is no longer relevant here in the USA - that being said, I LOVE what Lithuanian has done! If we had something liek that here?? WOW! Concerned citizens, willing to give their time to learn actual skills from actual professionals to do actual god when called upon? I love that concept!!! Very organized, which is where we circle back to "well regulated" (read 'well organized') - doesnt' exist here, just my 2 cents worth, but remmeber, the only time we really ever hear about militas, is when their member make a terrosist act against out own country (Tim othy Mcveigh)

    Nice. In the US 26 states have a government sponsored State Defense Force or State Guard. Many of them do the same tasks as the National Guard but unfortunately most are not armed and therefore could do little in an armed conflict unless leadership suddenly allowed privately owned firearms to be carried. Like the LRU, the SDF's have people from all walks of life but are heavy with former law enforcement and military.

    Sweden have "Hemvärnet" ("Home Guard") which is a volunteer force. Many other countries have it, and Canada too, it is called "Canadian Rangers" (although it is very small).
    The White guard in Finland was something very different, it was the non-communist side in the civil war (the others being the red). Finland did have "Lotta Svärd" which was a female healthcare volunteer unit though (but had to be disbanded as a demand from Soviet).

    I counted approximately 20 000 Lithuanian soldiers versus 700 000 Russian soldiers. I think that Russia is terrified.

      it's not about numbers. Lithuania has lower population than Moscow despite it it's still strong and independent country that has both EU & American allies.

      If Lithuanians think that even one German or American or British or any other country soldier will die to defend Lithuanians, I wish them the best. Poland in 1939 waited for Brits and France and Finland in 1937 waited for Brits. Results were known after WWII.

    Well, unlike Lithuania, Canada is not geographically located in the vicinity of a 140 million-strong violent fascist zombie horde, so it doesn’t need to train their civilians in organized armed resistance
