Posse Comitatus Act question

[Vigilant]

US Revenue Cutter Service
Became the USCG.

It was in...
Dept. of Treasury 1st.
Dept. of Transportation 2nd.
Dept. of Homeland Security 3rd.

You win, I posted that before you stated the other! In MODERN history, the USCG was DoT.

My dad was USCG around when they switched to DOT.

Wasn't Chris Costa a Coastie badass? A couple platoons of dudes like him ought to be able to clean up the streets.

In all reality, like was mentioned it's not they're mission. However I've been around some of their port security and LE tactical team guys. They're switched on and have some experience, but no Mosul unless they had transferred over. I met one dude who did a few tours in Afghanistan and Iraq with MARSOC who did.

Here's another question - in the age of terrorism, does Posse Comitatus make sense?

Against Somali's no, against Branch Dividians, yes.

If the National Guard goes to fight them in the desert, you'd think they can fight them here in the lush grasses of the American savannah

I think Slick Willie waived posse comitatus at Waco, Weasley Clark loaned the tanks that they used to breach the buildings and caused the place to burn down.

what good is an Act limiting presidential use of military if it can be waived by the president?

I was reading a bit on this while watching designated survivor. It seems to exclude the coast guard.

Could Trump send in the coast guard to pacify Chicago?

Can we assign the USS Missouri to the USCG?

Might be a little difficult. She's been gutted.
