pirates dead

Why keep the SOB. Make a few cut marks on the piece of crap so it gets the blood running and then leave him in the shark infested waters. Doesnt deserve any better. :)
 
I say we turn the one lone pirate over to Stecz and his boys. They can use him to fill in some of the pot holes on the jersey turnpike
 
I agree that we are better than them but the pirates would not have thought to hesitate one second if they could have shot the captain.
 
I read the Captain was taking a leak off the side of the boat - three pirates were on the other side; one holding an AK-47 on the Captain, while he did his bizness. Sharpshooters on fantail of Navy ship took advantage of the situation and took out all three pirates...
 
Unfortunately this whole event turned up the heat in an already hostile region....... Remember Black Hawk Down, same place 16 years later......

Yes. An act of piracy like this turns up the heat. But an effective response turns it down. This was the anti-blackhawk down. They lost. Pretty bad day for the pirates, and unless they have acquired more technology than rpgs and ak-47s in the last 14 years, a few pirates here and there will be easy pickings for Navy teams. Obviously.
 
How far away were the Seals?

Reports were 28 to 30 meters.

All 3 sharpshooters had a lock on the 3 kidnappers and took them all out simultaneously ! :sifone:

This certainly was where their training paid off big time.
 
Thank you to the US Navy, the Seals who performed flawlessly and the courage of Captain Richard Phillips....

And a thanks to Obama for letting the military do what they are supposed to do and not get in the way like I'm sure he wanted to...
 
This was the anti-blackhawk down. They lost. .

The only reason Black Hawk down was a defeat was Clinton had zero back bone. We lost 18 they lost between 500 and 1000 and we pack our bags and go home. Hell the 18 lost never should have been there if that was our resolve.

I aplaud the Seals and the military in their successful rescue of an American Citizen. Even give a +1 to Obama for giving the OK.

I call total BS on this peeing overboard story :boxing_smiley: the Bainbridge Commander stated on a televised phone interview that the captive was tied up inside the boat, one thug was visible just inside the front door, and the other two were sticking their heads out the small access doors, at that point it was 3 heads missing in unison.... pretty impressive.... he also stated the youngest thug was on the Bainbridge itself and COOPERATING somewhat with them, how he **supposedly** got shot/injured is a mystery to me...
