[QUOTE="James, post: 27773, member: 2"] :shocked: They do have some pretty respectable firepower for not being "military". :thumb: I think since they operate on the home front and you generally don't really hear about them, people put the CG in the same category as cops. If I remember right the CG reports to Homeland Security during peace time and if we're ever attacked they report to the DOD (Dept. of Defense), hence military. Plus if we were attacked they become the first home front defense (under DOD orders). BTW I don't have any reason to defend the CG except the fact that I think they never get the credit they deserve. :thumb: Their fleet is actually pretty sizable.
