  • Here make it fair, lets say if pirates are coming just shoot cannon balls at them, this way the pirates played there odds. VS. that 90 million round a minute mounted machine gun or cannon thing. I mean still have it just in case, who would want to get 100yds away and get cannon balls instead of warnings of death.

  • @SkylineTime indeed

  • @Snapdragon145

    Except they're not fighting for revenge, or honor. They're fighting for money. Most of these pirates were toddlers when that happened anyway.

  • why would a fucking rowboat pursuit a warship no logic, its becuse its a LIE

  • Well of course everyone has a reason :/ but yeah from there point of view things are much different.

  • Those Somali Pirates have reason to hate us. In 1993 we had sent about a hundred fifty troops into Mogadishu. Over ninety were injured and 18 were killed. The Somali's lost over 500 of their own. They have reason to hate us.

  • well, the pirate symbol is skull anf cutlass or the black flag

  • This is ridiculous... Okay fine call them "pirates" if you must but DO NOT correlate them with the skull and cutlasses. They use AK's not scimitars...

  • Lets hope they take care of the pirates quick before they just keep attacking, I mean the pirates obviously aren't very threatened by us so maybe we should take some more action and invade there home base or something. They aren't just attacking US ships they are attacking other countries ships as well and I am sure it is very irritating for us all so maybe we should really take care of these "pirates."

  • They should blow these hijackers out of the water!
