i mean us government doesn't really seem to my the accidental deaths of civilians in Iraq & Afghanistan, but they seem to be very afraid of attacking a ship that may or may not be pirates. They continue to pay ransom fees and reward the pirates. Just give a 2 weeks notice that if your are in the region and believed to be a pirate vessel, you will be attacked. It amazes me how they come up on a boat and see the crew of the boat throwing everything overboard (weapons, rockets) and then just let the people go free. If i cop is chasing me and they watch me dump drugs out of the car over and over again, pretty sure im still getting drug charges against me.

I have little sympathy for these people out on their yachts who choose to sail in these dangerous waters for fun, but merchant ships transporting goods need to be protected. Fuck the pirates, kill em all

that could be construed as the US claiming those waters as our own.

why should the US taxpayers pay the cost of protecting private shipping in international waters?

"hello US Navy? yes this is the captain... Just wanted to let you know that my little buddy, Gilligan and I will be sailing off the east coast of Africa next week. We'll need an escort."

"hello, US Navy. Exxon Mobil here. Hey we got a couple tankers that need security. Can you guys spare a destroyer or something to escort us to safer waters?"

bull shit

Insurance was invented to protect a ship and it's goods.

As far as protecting the crew... that's up to the Capitan.

And in another odd twist to the story, the ships are able to be taken over by 6 15 yr olds in a 12ft bateau because for some reason beyond me these ships cannot carry firearms....not even the captain.

Becauase we (U.S.A.) are too ethical and to put it bluntly, too damn nice.

I hope the day comes where we grow a set and start taking out any troublemakers, stop taking BS from other countries and do to them as they would do to us, and make a statement punishment-wise to any immigrants sneaking in over here that will make all of those in the future think twice about it....
