Hardly. You can hang your hat on a distinction without difference if you want, but that doesn't constitute being disingenuous on my part. If you want to argue the platoon that answers to a captain doesn't have to answer to a general: knock yourself out.
Another amusing strawman argument. I merely pointed out that what you stated in Post 126 where you said "No military force is allowed in the United States that is not subject to the President of the United States."is incorrect.
What you label as a "distinction without difference" is in fact a distinction specified by the Constitution itself. Now if you wanted to discuss the fact that our modern day application of this Constitutional provision has strayed from the original intention of the Framers of the Constitution, and that the National Guard of today is not the same thing as the Militia referred to in the Constitution, then we might have something to talk about.
