That it was disbanded is irrelevant to the issue.No...The professional army was federal, while the militias were strictly state-run organizations.Original intent had the army made up of people from the militias.
We weren't meant, at least constitutionally, to have professional soldiers.
A professional army was provided for in the Constitution and its funding is limited to 2-year periods....You can look it up.
Oh right.
Which is why the Continental army was disbanded.
No professional army is provided for..
A professional army is provided for in Article 1, Section 8.
That a professional army exists and is provided for in the Constitution does not by extension mean that I approve of that which we have today.
