I'm glad there is security aboard these ships. Just because the Somalis have no fishing left doesn't give them the excuse to raid ships

Armed merchant ships were quite common before WWII. In fact, Louis L'Amour wrote in the Walking Drum of warrior merchants who explored the world seeking new goods and new markets.

I like it. Honestly the first time I ever thought about enjoying actual human beings getting killed on video. I mean they see it as a business but the pirates are just scum taking advantage of more civilized nations and peoples. I want to go shoot some myself. Seriously. Weird for me to ever really contemplate enjoying watching someone die. I suppose after what they did to our guys that I just could care less. They reduced their standing to less than human in my mind.

LTC (Join to see) Nice to hear, I am sure they would rather be successful pirates than dead!

More fish food, more fish. Perhaps with enough fish food available they will decide fishing is more profitable than piracy. No different than muggers in a gunless city like New York. Kill enough of them and they might find other employment.

PO3 John Wagner - I did watch some documentary that some of these pirates are fed or chew on some kinda cocaine type of plant to get them high and loose their mind and get them to do crazy stuff. Now that is some real oxygen thief type of a thing they would do. They play stupid games they win stupid prizes.
