505 | The Coast Guard’s About-Face: The Hate-Symbol Reversal That Shook the Military
Description
Today on Target USA, a story that cuts straight to the core of military culture, extremism, and truth. The U.S. Coast Guard, under intense public pressure, has reversed course on a deeply controversial policy shift.
