Not only warned against, but the Constitution also PROHIBITS it. Article 1, Section 8, Clause 12. The single most important thing everyone needs to know about the army is that it is UNCONSTITUTIONAL and every member who takes an oath to uphold and defend the constitution is in violation of that oath at the moment it is taken. The Congress shall have Power To ...raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years... For most Americans after the Revolution, a standing army was one of the most dangerous threats to liberty and it still is one of the most dangerous threats to liberty. http://www.heritage.org/constitution/#!/articles/1/essays/52/army-clause
