I'm not making that assertion. I agree with
@wink on that concern for standing armies is the underlying motivation for our painful POM cycle, which probably didn't anticipate the F35 development program. Of course now we have an absolutely humongous standing army too.
The "no standing army" thing got burned down with the White House during the War of 1812, yet the Constitution still contains lots of words that are there because of that understanding and motivation. We've managed to go from considering militias as the hopefully primary mechanism for defending our government, into now some people think they are reserves for overthrowing our government.
I agree with you 100%
But the problem is agreeing on what the contract actually says.
Heck, even with detailed, narrowly focused contracts, there are endless court cases. Friend of mine's neighbor rents his house out all the time, to the annoyance of everyone. So my friend went to court, and its gone up 2 levels of appeals as to whether it is a commercial use of property or not.
Maybe it will get to the SCOTUS?
