Here's something else about the Coast Guard: they are NOT part of the Department of Defense. They used to be part of the Department of Transportation, but after 9/11 they were moved over to the jurisdiction of the newly formed Department of Homeland Security...
So, the U.S. Military is prevented from operating inside the boarders of the United States. The Army isn't supposed to be deployed in the country. That's why we have the National Guard. There are exceptions made in the case of emergencies, but you can't just send the Marines or the Army to settle things down every time there's a riot in Chicago or Detroit or L.A. or where ever. By Law, No Active duty Branch of service in the Defense Department can be deployed within the boarders of the U.S. But like I said... the Coast Guard isn't in the Department of Defense. What if the Coast Guard developed it's own SEAL Team 6/Delta Force with SWAT/HRT capabilities? Such a group could be deployed within the U.S. as a special operations/counter terrorist unit within U.S. boarders in time of emergency or need without having to jump through all kinds of legal hoops. As a part of the Dept. of Homeland Security (DHS), it would seem that the Coast Guard could basically develop a program like the Navy's SEAL training program (BUDS) and create it's own counter terrorism unit. They could cross train with SEAL Team 6, and the F.B.I. HRT to train them to be, basically, domestically deployable SEALs. I'm sure the Coast Guard could think of a better name, but you get the idea. The Navy is already recruiting USCG Rescue Swimmers to become SEALs, why not let the Coast Guard use it's own resources to develop its own program and people into a military trained, domestically deployable Special Operations Force. Now some might argue that the F.B.I.'s HRT is roughly comparable to a domestically deployable version of Delta Force... that may be the case. However, that still leaves a lot of American Coast line that could use a SEAL Team equivalent. A special operations amphibious unit seems like a good idea. At least I think so, what do you guys think?

WOW, that thing is terrible. That's like some crap file card rip-off you'd see on some G.I. Joe knock-off in the U.S. Was that a Hasbro product at that time, or did Hasbro buy that line later?

Alpinista... so basically when "Hit & Run" goes on a vacation south of the Border, he likes to play a little joke on "Alpine" and use his name as a convenient Alias.
I'm sure "Alpine" really appreciates that.

The whole Brazilian Animal Force is weird to me. I think they were all Cobras, but they used the Repeater mold for Urzor. I'm still trying to find Urzxor, and I'd like to use him as a G.I. Joe machine Gunner for my Ranger Detachment because Repeater is with Night Force.
