Really think (don’t feel) about it. With the total corruption of the Federal Govt at this time do we want a large standing Army at the disposal of a despot?
With other major powers building up their militaries, the focus will shift away from domestic matters.
The Founders understood the danger of a standing army and put it in the Constitution that the People should be armed and the militia act in matters of domestic defense. A military should only exist in times of war. We’ve been at war for far too long apparently.
