Semper Farookin’ Fi!
Here’s the short version:
U.S. notified that a German-owned merchant ship had been captured by pirates off the coast of Yemen.
Force reconnaissance Marines (probably a platoon-sized unit) board the ship with support from snipers and helicopter gunships.
Marines take control of the ship without firing a shot.
Pirates surrender.
One pirate shits himself.
Well done. Well done, indeed.
Maybe we can spend some stimulus $$$ and teach him how to clean himself, a la your Sep. 13 post.

Well done Marines!
But it’s a pity they just don’t shoot the pirates.

The most dangerous weapon in the world is a motivated Marine and his rifle.
