Your wrong. We might have had an army, but in the event of attack it would take days or weeks before the proper people in the government knew about it and even longer for them to get word to the Army to do something about it.
The people would be expected to protect and defend themselves for weeks until the US military was able to respond. The citizens were expected to "repel invasions".
