Yes she had to go”
Could we not have first finished our war with Russia? I can’t stand having to take on two superpowers at the same time.
Can’t you read?
The vessel was participating in an international fishing policing action.
I know the answer......... being a neo isolationist all you care about is expenditure of funds for international issues you don’t approve of
Please forgive my previous curt reply. An actual answer is called for and here it is:
From Revenue Cutter, Life Saving Service and keepers of lighthouses to an armed fleet for the DHS equals grotesque mission creep. There is no rational denying it.
“The Revenue Cutter Service and the United States Life-Saving Service were merged to become the Coast Guard... In 1939, the United States Lighthouse Service was merged into the Coast Guard.... itself was moved to the Department of Transportation in 1967, and on 1 March 2003 it became part of the Department of Homeland Security.”

Paint her gray and make her part of the Navy.
Oh and yeah, MAGA.
I had the unfortunate experience of being at the DIA and Pentagon for 7 years of my military career. I called my PCS to San Vito Air Station, Italy in 1991 “My Escape from Sing-Sing”.
Still, the best part of it was working with all the friends I made in the other services. We were full mixed military manned positions. My chain of command in my last year was a three-star Army General, an Air Force Colonel, A Navy Commander, an Army Captain, and A Navy Senior Chief. I was the E-7 supervisor of airmen, Marines, sailors and soldiers. We all had good times. Everyone of us enlisteds met up at the Ft Myer NCO club on Friday evening and got S-faced. I spent a good deal on rounds for them. Had quite a tab when I left!
so stop giving money to the Solomons
I served in Guam in the US COAST GUARD on a patrol boat, I have a very good idea what our mission was and continues to be. Clearly you have no idea what you are talking about. Spend a few minutes educating yourself.
Thanks for posting this link:

Hey. I agree with you and that is why I posted my questions!
“Not our problem -
Our Border is what we shoold be worried about!”
“To create an incident like this!”
That is my concern with Brandon as our POTUS and his/their control of all the 3 and 4 letter departments and agencies in America and Around the world.
One of my uncles was wounded at Guadalcanal. After he recovered he was sent to Bougainville. He was Army, not Marines. Still saw combat.
RIP Uncle Mike✝️
The Coast Guard was under the department of transportation, they did not want to transfer it to the military thus it went under DHS. There is no mission creep, we are still doing what we have been all along.
>>>“Remember, Nancy DID NOT have to go to Taiwan.”
The one thing in her life she did right.<<<
I agree with you. We want the democrats to be anti-China too. The USA should be unified in decoupling from that shithole country.
To hell with these stupid sons of bitches, time to retake Henderson Field and start up the Cactus Air Force again!
What is your source?
That “mission creep” predates the existence of the Coast Guard, the Revenue Cutter Service operated globally in the 18th and 19th Centuries.
