Albeit under the DHS, does the U.S. Coast Guard get enough credit as a military force?

Disparaged as the "Baby Navy", as I understand it, they were originally military, then switched to the Dept of Transportation (WTF?) and now under Homeland Security and it appears to me they do a great job from coast security, policing, rescue operations, etc. I don't think I've ever seen one of those "Thank the troops" commercials with USCG personnel.

NO, but think of it as the Navy's bastard children. They work their butt off, and get few kudo's

The only bastard children the Navy has is the Marine Corps. The Coast Guard is it's own actual branch.

I spent 20 years as a proud member of Uncle Sam's Confused Group and one thing that was always pushed was military readiness.
