It is incredibly bare-bones, to the point that reading it tells you very little of how the US government actually functions outside of a middle school level overview.
I thoroughly disagree. The military is succinctly covered under Article II in the necessary powers clause and in Article III.
Furthermore, the document does explain what all the branches of government are, what their functions and roles are, and therefore how one is to understand how they implement said roles.
For instance, to find out more about the Army, I wouldn't go to the Supreme Court. The Constitution tells me precisely which department the Army is under.
But I'd also argue your point is a straw man. You are equivocating adherence of policy with the policy itself. No document in existence tells people everything they can and cannot do in adherence to a policy. No such policy has been drafted and seriously considered by any mass of people. The Constitution is therefore no different.
A document merely explains how the process works and key things that will and will not be allowed. It does not make any claims as to every waking duty that every person should perform. To suggest otherwise is to completely rewrite the definition of policy.
