The marine/sailor boarding party was apparently ambushed, with the pirates opening up on the RHIBs at close range..the firefight resulted in two somali pirates killed, 16 captured and 16 Iranian sailors being freed. No info about casualties on our side, assumed none wounded.

  • How much money is spent fighting these useless pirates, they don't even look like proper pirates, where is the parrott and skull and cross bones, modern day tactics... nuke em from a sub... just for fun, uses them for millitary target practice... lets see how many pirates want to play then.

  • Just kill all these bastards and do the world a favour.

  • @nekidbob Previous veterans I've spoken to sounded intelligent... Oh well. I can empathise with what you've gone through so I'm not going to argue any longer, but since you've retired maybe you can look at it from their point of view? De-humanising the enemy is only necessary when you need to kill them.

  • @nekidbob Awesome! Another ignorant westerner. The type that watches their twisted news reports every day and all they see is "Middle Eastern people deserve to die". I reckon you'll go far in life. Oh, and try not to be blinded by the shit media injects into your tiny brain.

  • Why the HELL are we saving Iranian sailors, collateral damage is exceptable in this case. Should blown that dinghy out of the water and been done with it!!! FUCKING THROWBACK MULE FUCKERS!!!

  • At least in the U.S. when the authorities impose a "catch-and-release" rule on fish the populations tend to sustain and eventually increase. When governments practice catch-and-release tactics on pirates their population is bound to explode as well. Especially, if you sink their $500 boat and but they are working off the millions in ransom money- it makes no sense when a .15 cents bullet will take care of the problem.
