Is this worth reading? I don't mind a bit of the ol' arachno-communism but I draw the line at white guilt trips.

The Amish do not depend on the U.S for anything, they depend on the absence of interference in their community. If the U.S forced them to conscript in the Army they would probably be conscientious objectors, if the 1st amendment didn't exist it would be irrelevant since they care more about the law of God then American laws, it does nothing to stop existing laws from interfering from how they want to live. You say "external threats", but all threats are external to them, whether American or foreign.

I don't understand why defence or law enforcement are considered to be "basic needs". I also don't see why this way of living is somehow limited to only small communities, as long as a common bond is held they can continue to grow (and the Amish have grown immensely in the last few decades).
