The service is hurting, it has been hurting and it will continue to hurt. When folks like Adm. Allen and now Adm. Papp aren't willing to stick their necks out, and say politically unpopular, but very true, things.... the service and its people will suffer.
David Helvarg wrote a book about the Coast Guard a few years ago. He's penned a few articles too. I see him as one of the very vocal proponents of the Coast Guard.
You should find this article disturbning, but if it isn't, step on a 210' listen to the water against the hull and start to think "how much longer can this thing float?"
