IPFS News Link • Police State
It is well documented that many of America’s Founding Fathers had a very
real and deep-seated distrust of standing armies–and for good reason.
They had just fought a costly and bloody war for independence, which had
been largely predicated upon the propensities for the abuse and misuse
of individual liberties by a pervasive and powerful standing army
(belonging to Great Britain) amongst them. Listen to Thomas Jefferson:
“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties
than standing armies.” Note that Jefferson identified both banking
institutions and standing armies as being “dangerous to our liberties.”
James Madison said, “A standing army is one of the greatest mischief
that can possibly happen.” Elbridge Gerry (Vice President under James
Madison) called standing armies “the bane of liberty.”

Now why might a nation be afraid of its own standing army? Could it be that a clever commander might be able to turn a nation's own army against the nation itself?
