Should have killed the 5 they captured too. I love a story with a happy ending. POWDERMAN.

Shipping Crews operating in that part of the world need to be armed or hire private security escorts through the straights. Period.  - JMHO
I agree an even stronger statement would have been to leave none alive.

Thanks for sharing.

SCOOTRD. Agreed Sir. Thats what the Ruskies did, they haven't been bothered since. POWDERMAN.

A few 5 kiloton "light houses" positioned on the somali coast could warn future shipping that pirates used to be near.

I worked very closely with S.Korea Regular Army troops for a number of years and they were one tough group of soldiers (seriously Tough).

I understand this elite team were not S. Korea Regs but a special task force , but  gotta tell ya ,
if they were anything like their reg counter parts I worked with , I was very surprised they didn't eliminate all truthfully.

Nothing like a visual picture of a number of pirates dangling off the sides of a tanker heading through the straits to send a clear
message to all that they should not even consider attacking.

I would like to think that the surviving pirates are now envying their dead buddies.
Only in America do we coddle terrorists.

They eat dogs, I assume that the pirates were lucky to be released with all their limbs still attached.

They won't dare mess with the Russians. Nor do muslims with bombing Russian folks....... No persons survive.  No negotiations no comprimise.....
