You sir are an ignoramus.

Care to expand on that, Gunny? I stand among the greatest of our Founders in the belief that a standing army is unnecessary during peacetime.

So, how so you suppose this “part time” army would gain or maintain any type of technical or tactical proficiency? How do you suppose these armatures would keep up with the latest techneques and technologies? As a member of a “professional Marine Corps” for the last quarter century, I cant fathom how this would/could work. Can YOU elaborate?
