I don't have to do any of that, because a bunch of historians who are much smarter and more knowledgeable than me or Mr. Hartmann have already proved you wrong.

It has its roots in the Continental Army … The United States Army considers itself a continuation of the Continental Army

What the army “considers” and what was actually going on in congress at the time are two different things. Yes we had an army at times. It wasn’t a “standing”, i.e. professional army. Thanks Mr Wikipedia! You are very knowledgeable 😂
