re: #102 Lanzman

Oh, and national defense is an explicitly enumerated responsibility of the federal government, which is why your taxes pay for it whether you like it or not.

The Army and Navy are, but the Air Force isn’t! They didn’t think about the Air Force in 1776 when they wrote it, thus the founding fathers must have supported the free market of mercenary jet fighters to defend the country because it was explicitly omitted. Don’t try that “the Air Force falls under the ‘national defense’ part of the constitution”, you are just grabbing for straws. Just like saying health care falls under ‘National welfare’.
