Was actually watching some coast guard boot camp videos, they seem more tough then the Air Force. From how much shit people talk about them not being a real branch I expected it to lax. It’s rough. I think it’s because the coast guard tries very hard to keep up with the other branches.

Yeah, just picking on you, they are more physically active then the air force.

But the primary modern-day role of the coast guard is stopping immigration by sea, stopping drug trading and natural disaster relief.

They also focus on protecting marine life

Saw that as a MOS, that’s a cool fucking job

You should visit the coast guards website

I learned a couple of things I didn’t know about

What’s really sad is that out of all the members in the coast guard there’s only 980 Rescue Swimmers. The school is that hard and physically demanding

It's funny, my great grandfather was a marine during world war II, but all he did was protect onboard ships.

Marines were originally only made to properly the navy

Originally the marines sole purpose was to be on the navy ships and protect the crew

That’s why they’re a department of the navy

Now their role is amphibious invasion.

Yeah, a lots changed

Navy realized they needed to step up

Also, I haven’t vaped in months yet I literally almost reached out to my side to grab where my vape used to be

By great grandfather was buried with a Marine Corps flag, and a Confederate flag, and he was in his dress blues, and I remember the 21 gun salute.

That sounds like a truly honored burial

I find it funny that he was buried with the Confederate flag instead of the US flag.

Oh okay, so he got a three volley discharge, not a 21-gun salute.

Basically the same thing.

But it means something slightly different.

Confederacy > Union change my mind

His funeral was actually really the only memory I have of him, he died when I was really really young.

Confederacy < Union

Ok tyrant

Republicans are still better

I agree

Republicans are still better

Both are poison but one is worse then the other.

how are they better?

The “I’m not going to vote” only assures victory for the democrats.

i'd argue that CivNats are worse than commies

does it even matter if the dems win/

?

Because they aren't openly embracing Socialism, advocating firearm confiscation, and other shit the Dems are going. Their policies are still shit in a lot of ways, but one is definitely worse

they're the exact same at this point

No they aren't
