[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]

And sometimes, these humanity missions fundamentally change relations with the country....Look at the US "invasion" of Indonesia post Tsunami.  The people of Indonesia's perception of the US improved dramatically when they realized the americans were there to help....[url]http://www.pewglobal.org/2012/03/06/does-humanitarian-aid-improve-americas-image/[/url][/quote]

Pat on the back. Yeah, look at that humanity mission called "Iraqi Freedom". It was so great of the U.S. to help create a whole new country carved out by ISIS. The people over there are so utterly grateful. [/quote]
