I'm in the Coast Guard. Not sure "War machine" really applies. Especially since our stuff is all from decades ago, and is generally used to save people.
One of the few parts of the military I respect. You guys, the Army Corps of Engineers, the various medical corps, I can't think of anything else. Basically the parts that aren't furthering the war machine and actually helping people for the most part.
Although the Coast Guard does participate in the pointless drug war, but nothing's perfect.
Maybe not yet...
"I protect you" and "I control you" are just an inch apart.
One is a sucker punch and the other is truth after you've signed.
