It's all about perception really - one man's marauder is another man's militia.
Some settlements may even send their militia out on raids to acquire resources. They may not even see it as aggression but rather a recovery mission if the militia are based on a pre-war official organisation. For example, the sheriffs department in some US backwater may have deputised a few of the locals and on occasion raid neighbouring areas abandoned during the war due to any number of reasons, and which have since been taken over by refugees.
