why is the US Coast guard considered a seperate military branch
Why is the US Coast guard considered a seperate military branch
Because it does a different job? The Navy couldn't operate Icebreakers, they'd be too busy buttfucking each other.
because they're under DHS not DOD
delete your thread
They're part of Homeland Security last I heard. They were DoD in WWII and had the unpleasant job of escorting conveys, but now they mostly do as their name implies and guard the coast, chiefly against drug smugglers.
They're a bunch of hardos
I always found it interesting that they have the lowest passing percentage, I wonder if it's because they're more selective or because not a lot of people join.
don't bulli me, motherfucker, i'm not emrican
Because it is?
Because it doesn't do shit.
>holocaust class
More selective. During Vietnam, they wouldn’t even consider taking anybody unless they had at least 2 years of college. Lots of people wanted in the CG because they were under the impression it would keep them out of Vietnam. Boy, were they ever wrong. When I enlisted in 79, there were still lots of people around with interesting Nam stories.
So much salt. Recruiter not returning your calls?
They probably wash out people because of stricter policies towards past drug use, seeing as how a big part of their job is seeking out and intercepting it. Compare that with the other branches which require you to have enough love of drugs that you'd happily stand guard around a poppy field so the afghans can harvest it and the GitDN's can use it for further in-roads with warlords and the cartel elites within the government of Pakistan.
>supposed to run into ice sheet
>miss ice and wind up in Indian Ocean with jr. officers in charge
>3 month investigation and $10,000 fine, 15 missing
that really happened?
False. My dad was CG Vietnam era (last Basic group that counts) with no college, HU-16 crew chief.
Joking about the Navy running into shit in the middle of the ocean. I haven't heard of any massive CG fuckups like that.
36 million illegals. minorities to become a majority. what has USCG done?
And yet you are too fucking stupid to open a search engine. End your life scum.
Why do the work myself, when others can do it for me
How does it feel being a fucking nigger?
>They were DoD in WWII
They have provisions to be rolled under the DON in war time, for example WWI, WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. And sometimes today (operating from Navy ships doing anti-piracy and smuggling ops in the ME)
The DOD didn't exist until post war.
Does more to safeguard America and her borders than any other branch save for maybe USAF cyber/space ops
Intercepted a lot. Not their fault they're expressly ordered to take them to land where they are "processed" and set to be "deported" 15 years later.
fucking great lad. I get all the white people do everything for me, and when they refuse, I call them racist and they get arrested.
I get paid to do nothing
They actually serve America rather than Israel.
Agreed. It's the only worthwhile protection that the federal government has to offer. Biggest coup for the gov't was convincing the public that the military somehow "protects your freedoms" without ever articulating exactly how a bunch of unorganized foreign fags that the military kills thousands of miles away are going to prevent you from using your constitutional rights. Yeah, sure they will. Here's another trillion dollars to waste.
Guard the coasts. Borders are a different matter entirely.
>holocaust class
that's what you get for stopping the war 2 years too soon.
>Holocaust class
Why the fuck is this not just a part of the WWII unit of World History?
Was the point of "Nazis bad" not hammered home hard enough in the last decade alone?
Holy shit, it's real! I thought this was a shop. Insane. The level of cuckoldry in the US is off the charts. Indoctrination to worship jews is beyond anything I've ever seen.
Yeah, but it's an awesome time.
>stormfrontfag
>calling others cucks.
Amaze
It may not be bombing Tusken Raiders wielding Soviet era weaponry, but it actually protects the country. Do you not know what the "coast" part of Coast Guard implies?
They're part of the DHS under peacetime, but they can be switched to the Department of the Navy in times of war.
Back to plebbit
Doesn't she have nudes?
Go back to stormfront, cuck.
Youngfag here, I graduated from a Broward High School two years ago and in the process of getting Jow Forums for CG.
I also was stupid enough to take Holocaust History class. They offer it as a literature elective. 90% of the class was reading holocaust literature, not even first hand accounts of the holocaust, just novels and occasionally movies "based on true experiences." Felt like the biggest slap in the face.
You have nobody to blame but yourself. Did you think you were going to watch where eagles dare?
I thought at the very least we'd watch a documentary or something but we didn't even do that. It was all Hollywood shit.
Ok. I was just going on what I was told by the guys who were in during that era. I came in just before the Reagan era. They took anybody who’d graduated high school when I enlisted.
You seem to be confusing CG with what was formerly INS, is now ICE. And you’re still salty. I can see why you failed MEPS, you seem awfully stupid.
>too many words
"Why is the Coast Guard considered a... branch of the military?"
>b'cuz nepotism
US code literally states they are a part of the military, the same as how the navy and army are all different branches
Because NATZEEEEES are a scapegoat that makes it suspiciously impossible to get away with calling the Jewry out
but user, the coast guard has a nazi boat
That's quite a war trophy.
>because they're under DHS not DOD
Essentially, this. The Coast Guard is a military branch as well as a LE agency, where because of the latter status, they can board a foreign vessel in US territorial waters. If the Navy or other military branches under the DoD tried it, it can be considered an act of war.
not entirely, posse commitatus does not mention the navy, they have stated that internal navy policy is to not do so, and it has been verified many times that intel gathering is not "military action" on US soil so they are free to render aircraft to the coast guard for LE
there are two separate US codes, one gives the coast guard the authority of the military, the other establishes its authority to conduct arrests (making it LE)
>they are free to render aircraft to the coast guard for LE
And when this occurs, the Navy ship will fly the Coast Guard ensign signifying that it is operating as a Coast Guard vessel. In fact, when larger Navy ships with O-6's fly the Coast Guard ensign for these cases, the boarding team officers (typically JO's in the Coast Guard) will become the operations officer and will retain authority of the ship for the duration. It is because the Coast Guard-- as a LE agency under DHS and not military-- has different purposes than the other military branches.
