Let's face it...the Coast Guard is all about humanitarian service. Ever hear of Katrina? Almost every cutter and base in the service does community projects as well. The main difference is most of it is done in our country, not foreign lands. But the humanitarian aspect of the Guard is what appeals to most people who join. You can't beat it. Interestingly a recent Navy recruiting commercial emphasized the humanitarian mission but it sounded like they were talking about the Coast Guard.
