Militia is just a word.
You could have it doing whatever you want
You’re being too literal
The intent is to be a safeguard against tyranny and terrorism
With many people being uncomfortable with the ongoing and increasing surveillance state and massive mistrust of the police and government as well the terrorism going around and afraid the government might use that to advance tyranny and take away our freedoms, such an idea comes at the perfect time

I despise the Koch brothers I’d have them no where near this militia.
This is a progressive idea to maintain freedom from tyranny and police abuse
I would personally prefer that each state have their own military that protects the state and their people.
Most of the time, it’s under the control of individual states, with the state governor acting as commander in chief.
They'll keep an eye on the police and government agencies like the FBI and CIA so they wont become what you fear

Oh. You didn't make that clear.
Why do we need a military to fight for our rights? What are they going to do, invade D.C.? Storm the Supreme Court because they said that we can't have laws that prohibit same sex marriage?
In any case, the OP wants a national "non-police" force.
How the hell did you make the jump from military to same sex marriage?
There are many who consider the SCOTUS decision to be a violation of states rights. How would your hypothetical state military respond to such a violation? How would it fight for your right to discriminate against whomever you choose?
Our own military to fight for our rights as the states and their citizens.
