The Navy is now saying that they acted because “the Captain’s life was in imminent danger”. That to me sounds like they are dotting the “i” if you will with regard to restrictive rules of engagement, i.e. You may only engage the pirates if the Captain is in imminent danger.
That says it all. Their hands were tied. The captian forced their hand against the absurd restrictions put in place by the Forever *sshole.
AP reported that 0 “approved the rescue”. Then they updated the article just now to say he approved the use of force “twice” - once on Fri. and on Sat.
So... did he ‘un’approve the use of military force in between?
Confusing enough?
sure, you jump overboard, they shoot at the fleeing captain, his life is in danger from the Mogs...The Navy took them out
About damn time, I swear I have no clue how this could have gone on so long
