oddly enough, i think you'll find that the COAST GUARD isn't mentioned by name either. nobody but a FOOL or a DUNCE would question that armed force's existence either. (the USCG was in existence when the Constitution was written.)

According to the Coast Guard website, the earliest antecedent of the USCG, the Lighthouse Service, was founded in 1789. The Revenue Cutter Service was authorized by congress in 1790, under the Treasury Department. The name "Coast Guard" didn't come into existence until 1915., when the Revenue Cutter Service and the Life-Saving Service were combined. Do you have evidence that it existed prior to 1787?

evidence. NOPE. (neither do i have time to go look for any.)

otoh, do you have evidence that the CG was NOT in service (under one of it's SEVERAL names), inasmuch as the USCG itself CLAIMS service in the AMERICAN REVOLUTION????

one wonders what your claim to fame here on FR will be???? (perhaps posting apologist nonsense & meaningless bilge for the unionist propaganda machine????)

so far i have seen anything from you that required either KNOWLEGE and/or THOUGHT.
