Why wouldnt coasties be military?
I think you’ve been watching too much “The Guardian”.
It is a sea going service with large warships, though perhaps not as large as the navy. They do focus more on law enforcement and homeland security but there are hundreds of overseas units. Some doing counter drug operations in the eastern pacific and gulf of mexico, some in the middle east as the first line of defense.. When navy boats are floating around over there guess whos right beside them in the battlegroup? Anyway.. coasties do a lot more than save drunken jackasses who sink there boats in america.
Marine Corps, the only one that matters
Saying coasties are military and not brown water police is a big much.
And Trombone, your full of fail.
lol dreamon trombone. The marines are too small of a force to be the only ones that matter.
@trombone
Did you happen to notice how the USMC emblem says “Department of the Navy” on it? Oh.. that is right.. Marines can’t read…

@Stolid:
No, they can read, but only if they’re told to.
@cheebs0002
coast guard doesn’t get to play with the ‘big guns’ that the navy does. Don’t think they have aircraft carriers either 😉
The Air Force is the best! Gotta love their toys!
Olympics!
This is how the US Military works:
First the Air Force does flyovers and takes pictures.
Second we send in the Marines, and they kill everything that moves.
Third, the Army goes in, pulls up a flag and stands around like they’ve done something.
Meanwhile the Navy sits back and controls the world.
The Coast Gaurd sleeps in.
All the branches matter, kiddies. And being in the Air Force, never thought that I’d end up being a combat trucker in 07’…or 88M in Army terms.
