[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would encourage my child to consider the Coast Guard. [/quote]

I wouldn't encourage my child to join any. However, I have told DS that if he chooses the military route, I would be most supportive and proud if he joined the Coast Guards. I explained that this is the one branch that actually saves lives opposed to taking lives. [/quote]

Well, you are ill informed at best.

All of the branches of the military spend a great deal of effort on saving lives, be it through their multiple humanity missions, to evacuations, to building ebola centers in some of the worst hit areas to disaster relief, and yes, through combat.[/quote]

Times 1,000,000 except that "ill-informed" is a kinder assessment than I could have given (you must be a gentler soul than I am).

PP you are exhibit A for why the vast gulf between people who serve and those who don't is bad for our country.  You clearly have no idea about the motives and missions of our service members nor the role that the military plays in keeping peace and promoting safety. Even the most liberal among us know that your position is ridiculous and your comment extremely disrespectful of excellent people[/b]. [/quote]

The Atlantic did a fantastic cover story on this a few issues back- the gulf[/quote]
