used to be a sniper and believe me I’d be mroe than happy to go if called on

still on the other hand I would never get called on as obama won’t let us shoot back or even shoot, while the french are storming the pirates and saving their people we just sit there and watch

Blackbeard would have loved the seas of today.

Canadian ship comes up and see pirates heading to a ship, they send a helicopter up and drop a banner saying stop.

pirates wave to helicopter and head elsewhere

yea that is great, so they poet the pirates go so hit another ship

pathetic

it’s a covered lifeboat. They likely didn’t have anything to shoot at.

That is a modern, covered lifeboat. Snipers are trained to never shoot until they can clearly see -- and identify -- their targets.

I actually thought snipers were the solution until I saw a pic of what these life boats look like. They are completely enclosed. They are also virtually unsinkable.

At sea it's a lot harder shot to take. Especially at a longer range. Plus you have to have enough guns on target to take out all the pirates and what if some of them are below decks snoozing, going to the "head" or guarding prisoners? Those guys get one whiff of a sniper attack and they'll "OFF" our guys and that would be very bad. It's a hard shot because everything is in motion: Wave action produces wobbles on both shooting platforms and those actions are different every time, so you can't time or judge them like you can the wind, which will also be a factor here. It's be better to use the snipers just prior to a SEAL assault and take out all folks visible on deck before the boys either fast rope down from choppers or scale the sides from the sea.

Not when you have a sissy as President of the United States and Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State!

How long has this administration been in office again?! They are just getting warmed up!

If we thought Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter were bad...get ready for the likes we have never seen! This country is in a freaking mess with someone who doesn't have a clue and doesn't seem to give a rat's butt!
