"You don't charge what the service is worth"

Since when does the military charge citizens for it's services?
The United States Coast Guard is a military, multimission, maritime service within the Department of Transportation and one of the nation's five armed services. Its core roles are to protect the public, the environment, and U.S. 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.

You have no clue what I wrote. I am talking about economic price suppression. The reason there is no private ocean rescue service is that nobody goes into competition with a government monopoly that can afford to give its product away for free.

I said that they DON'T charge.

Plain fifth-grade English, and you don't get it. Pathetic.
