The fact the Coast Guard spent four million dollars per recruit on a NASCAR campaign is unreal. Yet after they've served they'll be lucky to get a free massage.

It was National Guard not Coast Guard, Coast Guard doesn't have that kind of budget. Never had, never will.

I think I read somewhere that the number of active duty Coast Guard is less than the number of New York City police officers.

Coast Guard has something like 50k active, reserve and civilian workforce and NYPD is like 55k
