            <title>Interesting news from the Coast Guard - and Homeland Defense</title>
            <description><![CDATA[From an email: Not sure what this means but it seems that very shortly Coasties will be able to apply to serve with the SEALS.My thoughts?&nbsp; Heh. It sounds to me like HLD wants to have an in-house, non-DoD SpecOps ability not subject to Posse Comitatus.&nbsp; It could just be the Coast Guard wants SpecOps trained ship-boarders for some of those feistier drug runners and pirates, too.&nbsp; Or both.&nbsp; The Navy had to agree to it, so I'm guessing they don't see any issues from a roles and missions perspective on their end.ALCOAST 367/08COMDTNOTE 1000SUBJ: ASSIGNMENT OF COAST GUARD PERSONNEL...]]></description>

                <![CDATA[Bronze - I wasn't engaging in conspiracy theory - I was just noting that having SEAL-trained personnel, over time, gives the Coast Guard a core of people to develop a non-Posse Comitatus restrained capability, resident in HLD.<br />
<br />
That's simply a fact.&nbsp; You over-read into what I had to say.<br />
<br />
That, and CBTs assertion that they'd like some diesel subs is interesting, too, as it blurs distinctions between the Navy and the CG.<br />
<br />
That's not a conspiracy theory.&nbsp; It's an observation.<br />

                <![CDATA[LOL.<br />
Maybe.&nbsp;I guess not chasing the Gotland would be fun.&nbsp; And, hey, if one dude is right that'd still be a good thing because ASW is not practiced enough.&nbsp; <br />
<br />
Even if they don't get subs I like the idea of home/away responsiblility.&nbsp;]]>

                <![CDATA[Hey, in this month's PRoceedings it turns out CG wants diesel subs too.&nbsp; I&nbsp;like this in a sense.&nbsp; Total bifurcation of 'home games' and 'away games' sounds good to me, so long as it all gets funded properly(and that's a BIG&nbsp;caveat, neh?)<br />
<br />
The Posse Commitatus thing is a bit troubling, but, hey, worse things can happen.&nbsp; At the end of the day I trust a small group in&nbsp;a 'white blood cell' capacity.&nbsp; Better than having intel guys passing CHP&nbsp;and other CA police info in a sub-rosa manner.&nbsp; If the need is there, fill it in a way that does the least harm.&nbsp;]]>
