It is the job of the US Government to protect the USA, "from all enemies, both foreign and domestic".


"from all enemies, both foreign and domestic", when written also forbid the Government from maintaining a 'standing army'. How do you reconcile that?

I dont know. I have the average citizens knowledge. Does it forbid only when Congress does not give its consent?
