Military genius bentway doesn't even know that some elements of the U.S. Coast Guard deployed to Afghanistan: answers.yahoo.com After reading some answers on here, I am truly amazed that some people have enough brain cells to work the internet. Yes, the Coast Guard is in Iraq and Afghanistan - as well as Kuwait, Bahrain, and Kyrgyzstan, too. We've been involved in every armed conflict that the US has been in since we were founded in 1789. The Coast Guard drove most of the landing craft to the beach on D-Day, and most of the river patrol boats in Vietnam. We've even got Guardians at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan - with no water in sight. If Angel, Tyler, Paratrooper and armourer2000 had ever actually joined the military and went overseas, they would have seen us. Angel and Tyler need to actually look at a map as well - there IS coast in Iraq! The Coast Guard isn't on the "front lines" on land, except as an accident... we are primarily a waterborne service, and in the water we are right there on the "front lines' (if you can draw lines on the water...). As an example of SOME of what we do, look at this page on DC3 Nate Bruckenthal - en.wikipedia.org

COAST GUARDSMAN KILLED IN IRAQ BURIED AT ARLINGTON Date: May 7,2004 Contact: Lt. Cmdr Jeff Carter (202) 267-1933 piersystem.com WASHINGTON – Coast Guard Petty Officer 3rd Class Nathan B. Bruckenthal was buried with full military honors today at Arlington National Cemetery. Bruckenthal, a 24 year-old damage controlman from Smithtown, N.Y., died from injuries sustained while defending the Iraqi Khawr Al Amaya Oil Terminal April 24. “Nathan Bruckenthal was an outstanding Coast Guardsman who exemplified our core values of honor, respect and devotion to duty,” said Adm. Thomas H. Collins, commandant of the Coast Guard. “His life, so accomplished and full of promise, was cut short defending our nation, his fellow service members, and the Iraqi people. We shall not forget his sacrifice.” Bruckenthal, the first Coast Guardsman killed in combat since the Vietnam War, was assigned to Tactical Law Enforcement Team South in Miami, Fla., and deployed with Coast Guard Patrol Forces Southwest Asia aboard the USS Firebolt. This was Bruckenthal’s second deployment to the Arabian Gulf for Operation Iraqi Freedom. He received the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal and the Combat Action Ribbon following his first deployment and was posthumously awarded the Bronze Star, the Purple Heart and the Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal.

Obviously you and 6 others don't know who we have in Afghanistan. USCG agments the Army there. The USCG was also in Iraq and 'NAM. Man, you're a one trick pony. answers.yahoo.com Yes, the Coast Guard is in Iraq and Afghanistan - as well as Kuwait, Bahrain, and Kyrgyzstan, too.
