i consider prairie dogs higher on the scale of valued life than i do skinnies. did i mention i really dont like them?

oh, and i would leave in a heartbeat if'n i found someone who wanted that armed escort and was willing to pay for it.

you coming along cheese? winter is a coming and the temp is taking a nosedive here soon.... the only requirements would be a healthy trigger finger, a sharp eye and an extreme distain for skinnies. lol.

p.s. dont anyone burst my bubble, i am having so much fun with this. if you dont want to daydream with me, stay off of my cloud. lol.

they can have a well ventilated shooting tower
well above the cargo and take their chaces with fireing
how is the un armed approach working for them??

just too stupid to be unarmed

no worries. neither are the skinnies. LOL!!!!! did you see any somolians in the olympic swimming events?

they cant swim. especially if they have a 50 caliber hole in them. might have to swing the ship around and snag a survivor or two, snag em with a shark fishing hook, that is. tow them behind the boat and use them for chum. hardy har har!!!!

One of the guys I work with is a Navy O5 SEAL. His next assignment is to head the anti-piracy section in another combatant command. I think if he gets his way and if this is still going on in about March there will be some changes... He's a pretty creative guy with a doctoral in whacking folks. Our personal feeling in the office is that this is a pretty easy task to solve technically. The issue comes from legalities, treaties etc. Night vision, Mark 19's, M2's and personal weapons solve the problem. Heck, waiting for them to pull their little boat alongside and then dropping a safe onto their boat solves the problem too. Talk is also about armed Predators flying high and putting a Hellfire into the boats when they find them.

compared to the price of predators and the cost of operating them, the myronman3 is a bargain.

there is a Private operation such as you want on a smaller level - larger pleasure craft going on from time to time in parts of the Carb. . Seems pirates/drug smugglers steal boats on the high seas from rich owners . Here say is at least one now takes hunting trips from time to time . Story is he and family were victims once . Not sure of the truth of any of this but your idea at least is not new .

India and the UK have navy frigates and destroyers accompanying their own country's cargo ships through the Gulf of Aden, and its not stopping the pirates. If they have been engaging navy destroyers, how would a 50cal rifle hold them off?
lets say you are trying to get on the ship i am on. lets say you are using speedboats on the high seas to try to pull said attempt off. lets say you are armed with ak 47's and rpg's. let's say that with my mini gun or 50 cal that i can smoke your arse 4 times as far off as you can shoot. and lets say that i dont have to do much except put a hole in your boat and leave you to swim. it is pretty hard to board a ship when you cant get with a half mile of it.
they say that it is such a huge area they cant have armed ships patrol it all. so why not put armed security on each ship?

As an old sailor i can tell you have never tried to shoot a small arm off a pitching< rolling platform called a ship.

well if not, even better. but that is the game, isnt it? properly armed, you can stack the odds in your favor. and, i love to scratch the itch on my trigger finger. especially on skinnies. did i mention i hate skinnies?

Just out of curiosity how much scratching have you done on that itchy trigger finger of yours regarding "skinnies" that is. Deer, squirrels, and coyotes don't count. Or more plainly. How many have your personally shot? Skinny or other wise?

With that question asked, and anxiously awaiting a reply, I will go ahead and burst your bubble of impending glory, and riches now. "Blackwater" is taking that job I am told. Just today in fact. They have much experience scratching those itchy trigger fingers you speak of, and aren't particular as to their physical condition, as being skinny is not required in their agenda. I doubt war paint in the guise of the Joker will be deployed either, although it would certainly give those "skinnys" pause at first. It did me.
As a prerequisite to your expedition you might also interview some 3rd Battalion Rangers for some "skinny data". The Rangers have indicated that those "skinnies" can be pretty scrappy. I suspect that some EX-3rd Bat Rangers, may very well be wearing "Blackwater" regalia now, and about to get some pay back for an under-maned Clinton travesty. And it will be well over due, and deserved.
As for the plight of arab owned oil tankers, who the hell cares. I don't.
By the way, I could not resist flying thru this cloud.

About the only thing these vermin will understand is death. Kill em weight em down and send em to the bottom, heck don't even kill some of them first that would be even more fun. No body no investigation.

Now for the plight of the Arab or any oil tankers "who cares" that is about as stupid of a statement as I have ever seen. No matter where that oil comes from and no matter whose ship it is on it is part of the world oil supply, and you interupt part of the world oil supply the price of the worlds oil goes up. Maybe it's different in the world of Texas but elsewhere that's the way it is.

As for scratching your itchy trigger finger there are some here who have. And it doesn't bother most of them. Most of the vermin they scratched were not worth the air they were breathing.

seems some were worried about the oil , like myself you don't care about the tankers . I don't mind loosing some oil if it goes to a good cause ! Just look at how much oil our tanks in the war use . If the end result is the same what does it matter how it got used or lost ?

while you are getting warmer, this is where you stepped in it. you ever stop to wonder where my dislike for skinnies comes from? you might want to consider that before you profess to lecture me about anything. the way that incident went down was a large part of why i left the military. and that is all i am going to say about that....except that i STILL hate skinnies.

I believe I would like to know why you hate skinnies, now that you pose the question. As far as lecture your, I don't believe I have. It would seem you have done a lot of posing but, consider yourself immune to questioning and comments. It is a forum myronman3. Folks do that. Now back to the questions. How bout it? I have a son that was 3rd Bat Rangers. Perhaps he knew you?

myronman3 · « **Reply #48 on:** November 21, 2008, 07:20:28 AM »

dee
sometimes you are on the mark, other times you are so far off base i dont know where to start, or even if it is worth the effort.

if your son was serving during 91-94, perhaps. sadly, even if i did meet him, odds are i couldnt remember. even some of the guys that were really close to me i can see their faces but their names escape me.

my memories are more of events and instances, faces and places. names and time i have problems with. dont ask me, i dont know, that is just the way it is.

your accusations of 'posing'.......... if you insist on talking about it, please do not relate to me tales of what others have done.....talk about what YOU personally have done. at times i see a decent person in you, other times i see something else altogether.

Dee · « **Reply #49 on:** November 24, 2008, 05:46:28 AM »

Well, myronman I don't believe I have accused you of anything but, perhaps if I were to, it would be an overdose of testosterone, and Internet bravado at best.
This thread has nothing to do with what I have done, or want to do, but is about what YOU SAY, you want to do. I have done much, and have seen much in my 59 years. I have been in several very tight scrapes where folks were attempting to send me to the here after, and I them. All survived though medical attention was immediately needed for the last two, and for their survival I am thankful.
My memories of these events are forever in my mind, as are the participants, though I wish most of the time, they would just go away.
Now, back to this topic. You brought up the desire to kill folks, tell us more about these experiences that would qualify you since you have become so defensive. On a post the 19th you stated that the best info you could come up with for the range of an RPG was 250 meters. Training an elite group such as the Rangers, which you claim to have done, it would seem you would know precisely the effective range of a weapon as common world wide as the RPG. Hmmmmm

Oh, and by the way. At times other folks have also imagined me to be decent, only to later change their minds. I have been cut, beaten, run over, and run into but, have no desire to kill "anyone", that is not affecting me or mine, or my country, unless they need it. I certainly don't have a problem if you would like to, although I do find it odd.
You might try Cobray, as they attempted to recruit me in my youth, and Blackwater has tried to recruit both my sons, although one is still in Ft Bragg where they too are located. They will give you all the action and blood you want if you can handle it.

you assume wayyyyyy to much. number one, i have been out since 94. believe it or not, other things have happened and come up between then and now which are more important to my day to day life. so keeping the maxium effective range of foriegn weapons systems in the forefront of my mind isnt a top priority. oh, and by the way, maximum effective is pure b.s.. it is something for them to quiz you on and nothing more. rpg's come in many different flavors, and each has different charateristics. so while you are getting off your high horse, please dont fall and break your neck as it would break my heart. i have forgotten more about weapon systems that you could ever hope to learn; be they foreign or domestic.
i'll say it again for you....if you insist on talking about it, please do not relate to me tales of what others have done.
typical wannabe-soldier for you; never had the guts to do it themselves when they could. now all we get is excuses, accusations, and stories of what your sons have done; but i guess at least we know that someone in your family has some guts. you are like a yapping poodle....and the only thing worse than that, is TWO yapping poodles. its a good thing shootall came along, so now we got two yappers.
you dont like my demeanor? tough. dont like the way i talk? tough. no one asked you to read this thread, you decided to read it. if you dont like the flavor, move on. you think you know way more than you actually do. and i dont give a rat's tail how old you are. a spade is a spade. yup, i made the mistake of thinking you were a decent guy a while back, but dont worry. you have cleared it up for me now and i wont make that mistake again. i hope your sons return happy and unharmed. whatever misfortunes befall you personally, i am sure you will have earned them. i am not wishing it on you, just making an observation. and i wont be crying when it happens.

Dee · « **Reply #54 on:** November 24, 2008, 08:09:47 AM »

I am interested in your experiences as I believe others are. Not to talk about them seems odd, since you like to talk of killing even more. This is a forum for discussion, and the topic of the thread that YOU started was YOUR DESIRE for the killing of skinnies. SO! Let's get to it! I have never killed one. Have YOU?
My experience at gunfighting left two men on the ground, whom I believed dead. The experience did not elate me as the thought of, seems to you. It in fact caused much distress on my part even though they started it. I was elated and relieved that both would recover although both deserved what they got.
You must have a different perspective on your experience and I would like to hear about it.

Your quest by the way, for decency in me may be at a loss, as you are looking in the wrong place. It is there, but not where your looking.

Oh! And yes, you did mention that you hated skinnies. Just not WHY?

myronman3 · « **Reply #57 on:** November 24, 2008, 09:55:09 AM »

the point is.... you sure like to position yourself as the grand pooba when it comes to military matters, from someone who admittedly never served? ludicrous. you are nobody, you have no right to judge anything or anyone. you have no right to ask the questions you ask of anyone. to think anyone has to qualify themselves to you, would make you a complete fool. venom? you betcha. you repeatedly throw out your son's service....where is your service record? you remind me of cindy sheehan...disgracing their childrens service with their own selfish wants. if my parents did that i would disown them.
i will not try to qualify myself to someone like yourself. you are no one. you never served. which leads me to ask a question of you...since you like questioning others some much....being 59 like you say, and the historical facts that are, i wonder how it is that you didnt serve? were you physically unable? i doubt that if you were able to be a cop. how is it exactly that you managed not to serve? am i talking to a cowardly draft dodger? you remind me of my ex father in law, who was a dope smoking-hippie-coward-draft-dodging-puke; he thought he was the grand pooba too, who is smarter than everyone and had all the answers. please enlighten us with exactly how it is that you never served. ... mr. service questioner. this ought to be good......

Dee · « **Reply #58 on:** November 24, 2008, 10:28:29 AM »

Grand Pooba. That's funny. Do you use that when you dress up and paint your face?
Now back to the discussion. Actually I respect all whom serve, but like any other profession, some put more color in their career than there actually was. Kinda like convicts in prison tell everyone they are in for murder or armed robbery, when they were actually a shop lifter. Don't feel bad though. Police officers do it too. Oh! And yes, I am very proud of my two son's whom served also, as did several others of my family since before the UNCIVIL War. My family was in the gray uniforms.

You ask how I served my country, well a little differently than others. Yes, I was a police officer for 20 years. There are many ways to serve one's country, and that is one of them. Firemen also serve their country, and although I respect all branches of military, it is not the exclusive and only way of serving one's country. Oh, by the way. I was not a fireman. That's just mine and millions of others opinion.
I'm like Cindy Sheehan you say? I don't quite think so.
You ask why I didn't serve in the military given my age, and I would suppose you would mean Vietnam. I was not drafted, and I did not join. Simple! Nothing as dramatic as you are. I only know what I hear from others, and read.
Cowardly draft dodger? Nope! Sorry. Not one of those either.
As to your service in whatever type of military you served. I salute you sir, but as unstable as you seem to be, when asked a few questions I doubt you were special forces or even close. You go off way to easily. But I respect your service just the same.
Oh, and one other point in answer to your opinion of me. In this world, as you say; I truly am "no one". But other than those close to us, we are all "no one". I am a "nobody" whom asks questions, and doesn't believe everything he hears or reads.
I guess this means your not going to tell me of your adventures and your training. I've already shared my boring uneventful existence. I would hardly view yours as qualifying yourself though.
Ok, your turn, I have ear plugs in, but I had rather hear about those skinnies you were talking about.

no, you enjoy making implications and you LOVE trying to position yourself ahead of others. that is what all of this turned into, regretably. with the two exceptions of g.b. and matt, i aint taking any crap from anyone on this site ... i follow their rules so we dont have any problems there. if they were to behave like you do, i wouldnt have wasted any time hanging out here. thankfully it is not "dee outdoors".
like i said, you dont like the flavor of the thread, move on. i didnt start the thread to prove anything to dee. you dont like it, i really dont care. and if you have issue with the facepaint, again, i dont care. it was a picture from halloween with my kids. get over it....or better yet, keep making silly comments about it. I DONT CARE. if you want to try to be somebody, do it at your own expense.
i started this thread as a lighthearted way to pass a boring day. you took it upon yourself to call all that is myron into question and then wonder why a guy gets p.o.-ed. truth is, that is exactly what you were looking for. you push me, i'll shove you right back ten times as hard. pick a weaker target next time.
the daydream is over, the issue past, and the thread is dead. i am out.
