The story clearly states the Navy beat the Coast Guard by 14% does it not?

Coast Guard ain't military. Although they are now DHS, they used to be Dept of Transportation.

The Coast Guard is the hard core around which the Navy forms in times of war.

And anyone who thinks differently is more than welcome to try to say so to the face of any random Coastie senior Chief ...

In time of war, the USCG has been seconded to the DoD, but I don’t know how the DHS assimilation affects that.

“Coast Guard ain’t military.”

My point exactly, but they were included in the story as if they were. Which still makes S.A. Miller a moron because apparently HE thinks they are.
