This should have ended long ago - with the bombing of ports these pirate boats and their mother ships sail from. The people in Somalia would quickly learn that with each hi-jacking, comes another flyover of US Navy Jets taking out a marina or market place, or maybe a few burnt Somali ship superstructures sticking up out of the water in their harbor as a reminder.
Our Navy’s prime mission is to keep the sea-lanes open, allowing safe passage in all open waters. We have failed to do that and the Commander In Chief needs to held in contempt.
And I’m betting that Barry’s DOJ will indict that SEAL for some sort of over reacting.
Or, watch the families of these people come out and blame the special forces for their deaths.
Nothing would surprise me...
Should that happen, the families will have the total support of NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC, CNN, et. al.
You’re so right! We desperately need a Reagan, not our current Pu$$_ of the United States.
We shouldn’t be “negotiating” with the pirates. They should be scared to even touch an American.
Did you read that the pirates shot a rocket propelled grenade at our Navy ship?
The couple who owned the yacht were engaged in Christian mission work, delivering Bibles to remote villages around the world.
So the pirates break open the holds to loot, and find...a lot of books with a cross on the cover.
They confront the Americans about their Christianity, accuse them of trying to convert Muslims...
I know you read it, I am so upset at this. Ignore previous ping.
And maybe they weren’t big time DNC donors either.
The SEAL may want to disappear to the LA Underground to become a soldier of fortune and found a SEAL based A-Team.
Killing only two of the Pirates isn’t called fair where I come from.

I heard that the pirates have over 600 people they've taken captive. Probably mostly crewmen from the ships they hijacked. Sure would like to see some of the drones be used to terminate these pirate scum as the appear.
Somalia , Kenya same people and mentality!
Saw T-Team last night, the new one. Good fun and mayhem.
Never heard of that series.
Sorry, it was the A-Team. Fat fingered the keyboard. I saw the movie ‘Expendables’ where at the beginning they took out these pirates.
So sad. Seriously, what if they had been card-carrying muslims? Wonder if response would have been different. FOUR ships following the pirates?
