Now you can quote Jeffersons letters all day, (he was but ONE of the authors) but I'll stict to the wording of the constitution. Not something written 40 years later.
So where is the provison stating there is to be a standing army in peacetime ?

Are you admiting that there is no such provision ?

I think you are, which is good, because no such provison exits.
There is one however, for a standing Navy.
The "Army" mentioned in Article II Section 2, is in nthe event one need be raised.

Any sixth grader knows this

Didnt they teach you that during theb 30 days you were in boot camp, before they sent you home ?
