    250,000 US Coast Guard Troops were deployed during WW2. A quarter of a million people. This is a hell of a disservice to their memory.

              Yes, I learned about that quite a while after I had signed up. So what? It’s like refusing to talk to someone simply because they’re from Florida - sure, most Floridians are racist lunatics, doesn’t mean they don’t deserve the benefit of doubt.

                Your case is far simpler as it is a 30 seconds sign up, and not a life changing decision.
