Our Nation, in its infancy, before it had any power or international standing, before we had Nukes, Submarines, Missiles, Aircraft Carriers, or drones, fought (and WON!) two wars over this very issue.
The first time, against the Barbary Pirates, was and overseas war which required a long sea voyage.
The second one, on our own soil, involved the burning of our capital city.
The “Marines Hymn” commemorates the first war, and the “Star Spangled Banner” commemorates the second.
It is a sad commentary that this current act of piracy will probably not be addressed by the government at all.
“AN overseas war”, not “and overseas war”
Sorry, my blood is boiling and my brain hurts.
Let the Danes handle it...its their frickin boat.
