to add:
I think the danger here, in allowing this to continue (beyond the difficulty of such special treatment) is that while most of these people probably don't intend to ever fire a single shot.......
-there's gonna be at least one nut on the firing line that's considered it, at a minimum..if not actively anticipating the opportunity. Especially as other groups begin to filter in for line relief, as has happened. If you think that this is somehow different from the manner in which situations like this evolve overseas (thus comparisons to isis or other militant groups) I can tell you from personal experience that it is not. The initial group is almost always negotiating something.....it's the coat-tail riders you have to watch out for.
As to the contention that serves as the impetus for their ridiculous little insurrectuion. A decade ago the last vestiges of the industry I depended upon where I lived were shipped overseas. I feel for ranchers...as they find themselves overextended with an outdated business model, lives and homes in fiscal peril. I've been there. I didn't start a faux rebellion in the brush, I got a new job.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
