Letters Marque and Reprisal, crowdfunding, and #bringbackourgirls

This is the internet. We all run our mouths. But did you know that there is a mechanism in the US Constitution to raise private armies?

Under Article I, Congress has the power to allow private citizens (and corporations) to be granted Letters Marque and Reprisal to do things the government wants t o do but can't be bothered with.

We need someone to get the Letters, then crowdfund the financing to invade. It is such a crime fundraising should be no problem.
