the power to "raise military forces for the common defense".

the Constitution does NOT enumerate the different sorts of forces that might be "raised". the FOUNDERS were SMART, but their crystal balls were broken when the Constitution was written, as they didn't foresee flying, space travel, lasers, computers, etc.

the power to "raise military forces for the common defense".

I don't see where that phrase is found in the Constitution. Is that an implied power? I see where Congress can fund an an army and a navy, but not an air force. Must be illegal then, since only explicit powers are allowed in your world.
