JeffIsHereToo Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 So now we are at war with pirates? What the heck is this the 1800's? Pirates Vow Revenge After U.S. Navy Rescues Captain http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,514822,00.html A bullet is cheap.... Even more prophetic when you look at the USS Bainbridge's namesake's career! Who says the Navy brass doesn't have a sense of humor! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Bainbridge "When the United States found that bribing the pirate Barbary states did not work, and decided to use force, he served against Algiers and Tunis. In command of the USS Philadelphia, when she ran aground on the Tunisian coast on 29 December 1803, he was imprisoned until 3 June 1806. On his release, he returned for a time to the merchant service in order to make good the loss of profit caused by his captivity." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Hawkins Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 yeah!!!! Wahoo! Shoot first, ask questions later. Dont mess w/ USN! I bet the FBI will have a chat w/ #4. Shoot First...... HaHaHa now thats funny. How many Days and Hours did this take? I am sure that the Captain would have been rescued on the First day if the Media was not there, after all, we have to be Politically Correct at all times.

ejrail Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Way to go, Navy!! I was afraid the US would back down and not take a stand. Maybe the pirates will think twice before attacking a US ship again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airforcevm Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 I was glad to hear that we payed the pirates each with one bullet to the head. I think they were hoping to get more than a bullet. Not sure what thoses cost but it was way less than the ransom that I'm sure they were asking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
