A group of American soldiers formed an anarchist militia and spent $US87,000 ($83,922) on weapons in an elaborate plot to overthrow the government and ultimately assassinate the president, a court heard.
The soldiers allegedly made themselves into a group called FEAR, standing for Forever Enduring Always Ready, and bought land in Washington state from which to launch attacks.
They were said to have planned to blow up a dam and poison apple crops in Washington state, bomb a park in Savannah, Georgia, attack vehicles belonging to Department of Homeland Security employees, and take over an ammunition control point at the sprawling Fort Stewart army base in Georgia.
Prosecutors said its long-term goal was revolution; bringing down the US government and killing President Barack Obama. It is not known over what period of time this alleged plot would have taken place.
Details of the militia emerged during civilian court proceedings in Georgia in which three soldiers have been charged with murder.
Pte Isaac Aguigui, who was identified as the founder and leader of FEAR, Sgt Anthony Peden, and Pte Christopher Salmon, are charged over the deaths of a former soldier, Michael Roark, 19, and his girlfriend Tiffany York, 17.
The victims were allegedly killed in woodland in Georgia last December, to keep the militia's existence secret.
A fourth defendant in the case, Pte Michael Burnett, 26, admitted two counts of manslaughter on Monday. He is co-operating with prosecutors in a deal which will see him avoid a possible death sentence.
Burnett told the court Pte Aguigui introduced him to "the manuscript", which was "a book about true patriots", and that the militia aimed "to give the government back to the people".
Prosecutors said militia members wore anarchist tattoos and it was unknown how many members there were. The court heard that Pte Aguigui funded the group using $US500,000 in insurance money and benefit payments he received after the death of his pregnant wife a year ago. He was said to have recruited members through the US army.
Prosecutor Isabel Pauley said the militia "possessed the knowledge, means and motive to carry out their plans".

The answer is... there is no difference. They are NOT Patriots... they are terrorists, being charged with the murder of a 17 year old girl becuase they were afraid she might reveal their terrorist plot.
Hail, Hail!!!
Wow, those are some pretty fucking ambitious dudes.
Scary thing is, there are others like them out there.

well you know if you plan to kill someone famous or you manage to kill them, different rules seem to apply.. tis why mark chapman has once again been denied parole. he shoulda murdered someone not so famous as lennon and he probably wouldve been out by now. plus isnt planning on or actually killing the president some kind of treasonous act???

But like Paul Ryan, don't let the facts get in your way there, B.
As for the unbelievably unrelated story about the civilians in Haditha, clearly that was a miscarriage of justice, to put it lightly. Was he found criminally insane or something? Not sure how military courts work.
