Maybe I don’t get this kind of thing..
But why is OUR Coast Guard, not guarding OUR coast?
Why are they Guarding a coast in the Arabian Sea?
Is that a normal thing for USCG to do?
The Coast Guard used to be under a Department of Transportation.
It’s now under DHS.
Guarding our coast is racist.
Not guarding Israeli shipping profits is antisemitic.
“But why is OUR Coast Guard, not guarding OUR coast?”
The Coast Guard protects America and isn’t confined to operating in our waters. Patrols here continue as usual.
I'm in 100% agreement with your overall sentiment. Yes, we should be doing more to secure our coast.
That being said, if there's a case for us using some resources for safeguarding other waterways that are of interest to us, then the Suez Canal/Red Sea/Gulf of Aden is definitely one. If Reagan was right to do Operation Praying Mantis to protect oil ships traveling on the Persian Gulf, this area is way more important to us.
Its all hands on deck. Proxy wars of empire across the globe, combined with DEI at home, have stretched the armed forces very thin
Most of the casualties taken in attacks on the US bases in eastern Syria have been national guard units.
Thanks for posting my feelings!

For the same reason our military is not guarding our borders. Globo homo uber alles.
