WOW, Pirates capture ship

[J double R]

These guys are all about the booty, don't usually hurt anyone, just want the $$$. Sounds like the world powers need to get together and put their special forces to use and squash them like a bug.

ever heard of US Navy VBSS (visit board search and seizure)? when feasible, they are taken down.

a big problem is that when pirates take a ship, they try to move it to waters where we can't touch them, in a diplomatic sense.

Maybe the ships should hire a few ex-Marines and give them M14s and LAWs.

There you go, now there's a thought. My dad is a retired Marine, so I know how dangerous they can be

Although there are services that are out there for ships to hire gunman. In some areas this is still not legal.
