private armies can never be thoroughly dismantled. sa US nga eh, asa kanila nuclear bomb, spy drones and most advanced jetfighters but they still have militias in their own backyards. even the US Govt. admits that WW3 can very well be started internally dahil na nga sa presence ng Militias na ito

so don't be too hard on our govt. not having to iron hand to dismantle private armies. we can't even police our own seas kasi kulang sa navy vessels.
