You are saying that the one thing the Feds should fund according to the constitution, is something the founding fathers didn't want to have at all when they wrote the constitution.

I'm dumbfounded by your complete lack of logical thinking.

I am saying SOME founding fathers did not want a standing army. Those that did not want one proposed amendments to make it very difficult to have one. That amendment was debated, voted on, and lost.

The way the system they designed worked was proposal, vote, result. The result in this case was allowing for a standing army.
