oh yes, defensive militias are necessary. Communities need to be able to protect themselves.

Fortunately if we've learned one thing recently it's that modern nation states are extremely bad at fighting decentralised resistance. So you don't necessary need a giant mechanised army in order to be enough of a pain to make invading you infeasible.
