None, I believe they are all the best that was ever and will ever exist. You can not compare things without them fighting each other and I know that they will only fight FOR each other.

What? I voted Coast Guard, since i find it hilarious that they're a branch of your armed forces.
Coast Guard isn't a branch of the armed forces, it falls under the jurisdiction of Homeland Security.
Maybe now......what about before we had Homeland Security, we still had the Coast Guard.

The United States Coast Guard (USCG) is a military branch of the United States involved in maritime law, mariner assistance, and search and rescue, among other duties of coast guards elsewhere. As one of the seven uniformed services of the United States, and the smallest armed service of the United States, its stated mission is to protect the public, the environment, and the United States economic and security interests in any maritime region in which those interests may be at risk, including international waters and America's coasts, ports, and inland waterways.

USCG has a broad and important role in homeland security, law enforcement, search and rescue, marine environmental pollution response, and the maintenance of river, intracoastal and offshore aids to navigation (ATON). It also lays claim to being the United States' oldest continuous seagoing service. The United States Coast Guard has about 40,150 men and women on active duty.
I didn't know it was actually a part of HS, I'm kinda doubtful unless you can provide some more info.  Sorry if I'm behind the times on this one.
The Coast Guard is in the thick of it when called upon

My Dad, now retired (Capt), flew the H52's H3s and H60s -then a desk for the last 4 years.  We were twice stationed in Kodiak AK.  During his first tour I came into existance.  We moved back 13 years later he was the OPS officer.  I wouldn't even go outside due to the weather and he'd be up there flying.  There are many people who are walking the Earth today because of him.  The Coast Guard ROCKS!

I probably already responded but that was beyond my short-term memory. In addition, Army Airborne/Army Rangers are sa-weet, even though I'd do any parachutist role.
