Mr. Beavers, You asked if we should continue to fire on the fast moving cocaine boats? Is there any better target practice for the gunners and Navy pilots? And it's free!
Given the success the Coast Guard is having capturing drug boats & their crews (often without firing a shot - and when shots are fired, it's to disable engines when a boat does not immediately give way), I do question the rationale for employing deadly force against these unarmed smuggling vessels.
In any case, thanks so much for reading US Border News & sharing your opinions!
