A well regulated militia....

If this is what a "well regulated militia" looks like, I can only start to imagine what a "less than well regulated militia" looks like.
... The newspaper reports that “Arizona Army National Guard members over the past decade engaged in misbehavior that included sexual abuse, enlistment improprieties, forgery, firearms violations, embezzlement, and assaults.” Much of the wrongdoing, according to the Arizona Republic , was carried out by National Guard members who went into high schools to recruit new members. These non-commissioned officers (NCOs) “engaged in sexual misconduct, collected recruiting fees to which they were not entitled, forged Guard documents, and committed other offenses such as hunting the homeless with paintball guns.”

P.S. I placed this in the "Firearms in the news" section because these are the guys that have the real firearms.

That sounds just like a Roman Catholic dioceses shuffling pervy pedo priests.

Yeah, and the desire to not have a standing army lasted how many years?


The Legion of the United States was formed in 1792. Our FF knew dang well that a standing army was needed. What they didn't want was a large standing army. I would argue that many of the reasons they had were the same that people make today; a large army will encourage us to get involved in foreign adventures.

Note that that is a large army. A large navy, on the other hand, let's us engage in what the British called "splendid isolation" and pick and choose as much or as little "war" we need to fight.
