Calling the spanish militias mildly military based on the fact that they had elected officers seems small minded. Especially considering other vastly more successful forces did it, including the Union army during the american civil war and the french army during the revolution, the red army during the civil war to a lesser degree. There\'s quite a few other reasons to describe them as such.

Also the idea that they voted on every last thing is nonsense of the first order. Not even the anarchist forces did that when on the battlefield.

>Orders from the rear such as an advance were followed only after each unit voted. People would not follow an order they did not understand, even in battle. It seems that only idealism kept them in line at all.

Thus this line goes.
