Don't forget about the new State department army that was formed for this.

It is a brand spanking new army.

Of course it is totally constitutional. /s

So many people think history begins in 2001. History books are good things.

When a dozen marines invaded the original Shores of Tripoli, their army consisted of hundreds of local mercenaries. Letters of Marque and Reprisal and militia too. From the nation’s very beginning the idea of alternative and supplemental military force has always been on the table.

Didn't the NAZI'S also have a slew of seperate armies for each of it's departments and different minsters? SS, Waffen SS, Gestapo (had it's own army), SA, Luftwaffe (had it's own army), and more?

Takes you back to the good old days don't it?
