Cape May - I served on three Coast Guard Cutters and at one time was stationed in Charleston, SC. The hideous amount of money our Government is spending right now, with 3 CG/Navy ships, divers, survey ships and man power to find Balloon parts that are most likely destroyed due to salt water is absolutely ridiculous! The Balloon could have been shot down where no one could have ever been hurt and retrieved easily. Spend, spend, spend! Isn't that what democrats do to make themselves look good?
