I am sure you are all aware of the story, if not, I'll provide a link where you can read about it.
Okay, so please tell me why our military isn't doing more about these thugs. I am getting tired of hearing them called pirates, they are terrorists. Terrorists of the seas. How can it be that a US citizen is being held on a small lifeboat, in front of our Navy, and they are not doing anything. It's beyond my comprehension as to why they are not allowed to engage the pirates. The article only says that OUR rules of engagement do not allow them to save a civilian!!! What?!? I now question why we are wasting our tax dollars if we can't do anything. If we are not going to allow our forces to respond or act, then lets move them somewhere else. It's like telling a thief that the cop in the corner of the jewelery store is armed, but he won't do anything but take a picture of you.
I wish I was smart enough to understand what is going on over there. I'm so dumb that I expected the captain to be freed by a Seal team, or maybe our guys would each snipe everyone on the lifeboat except the Captain.
