    In the country, hopefully.
    I prefer this version. The choice of music type really impacts the words of the song. I found the BS version distracting from the message and never truly understood the whole song as intended until I heard this cover. Its gorgeous and haunting. Forget the clown makeup. He has an AMAZING voice.

    The military could safely get it down. Where there's a will there's a way. Apparently there's no will. Be cool to see the governor of Montana to order the air national guard to take it down
    Why aren't the Zipper-Suited Sun-Gods (enlisted troop slang for fighter pilots) arguing over who gets to shoot it down?

    Montana Air National Guard: WE get to shoot it down.

    F-22 Raptor guys: WE get to shoot it down!

    F-15 Eagle guys: WE are 104-0 in aerial combat! 105 is on the way!

    F-15E Strike Eagle guys: WE will drop a bomb on it!

    F-16C guys: WE will shoot it down, THEN drop a JDAM on it!!

    A-10 Warthog guys: Let me know if it's shooting back. Otherwise, pass.

    F-35 Lightning II guys: If our fleet wasn't grounded we'd shoot it down... with F-22s providing air cover and F-16CJ Wild Weasels on station... an E/F-18 Growlers jamming the balloon's Radar...

    MQ-1 Predator guys: WE will smoke it with a Hellfire missile!

    MQ-9 Reaper guys: We will Hellfire it, JDAM it, drop a Sensor Fused Weapon just for fun WHILE live-streaming it!!

    Civil Air Patrol guys: We'll fly our Cessna 172 up there and shoot it with a shotgun!

    Probably not a spy balloon, just dumping the new batch of virus Fauci made. The fact we are doing nothing shows how Biden has his priorities. Maybe China said let’s see how long it takes Biden to shoot it down. They are probably in shock he is still eating his ice cream cone. Gee what else can we send over?

    My money is on observing it and eventually collecting it, thereby providing more information about their capabilities than whatever it is they collected.

    But hey, that's just too rational and apparently rationality is out of style, at least when when pot shots at a dim-bulb president can be had.

    On that note, it appears that its happened before, including during the prior administration.

    We will have to get a contract out to a balloon research firm.

    Then a contract for different weapons systems for anti balloon operations.

    Another contract for testing systems.

    Better get another contract to a “think tank” in order to interpret testing and integration to the armed forces.

    Another contract to buy the selected system.

    Contract to train the Military on the new system.

    Contract for spare parts and maintenance.

    Contract for future anti balloon operations.

    Take it down! The tear it apart molecule by molecule until every single thing it was made of, where it came from, and what it has done is known and documented. Then broadcast it to the world.
    You had me until the end there. I was expecting it go go...Then form the pieces into a suppository and shove up Xi's ass.
