        @UsefulIdiot89 He's used Solider for the entire DOD before. Some people just don't get it.

        @jarhead311 Fuck me! That shit upsets me. Though, to this day, I have no idea what you call someone in the coast guard. Puddle pirates? 1/2

        @jarhead311 They aren't DOD though, realistically. 2/2

        @UsefulIdiot89 Most answer to Sailor. Surprisingly, 'Coastie' is acceptable. At least it was. I've been a civilian for a bit.

        @jarhead311 I called them coasties, but I had no idea whether it was appropriate. They aren't sailors though, even if they think so.

        @BeschlossDC You see flags in combat and realize soldiers have protected them from battle to battle. Proud -and grateful! - American.

        @BeschlossDC Would those be gas tanks for flame throwers on the backs of the first two men?

        @BeschlossDC There were more than just these men. There are photos which prove this.
