I don't understand why they boarded it to begin with.

Sad. What a waste. Sink the damn things, don't board them.

Wouldn't it be the officiers that gave the orders?

That's what I was thinking. Someone had to tell them to do this and it's not like we haven't had these problems before
To: Ernest_at_the_Beach
Yes. I hope this is not standard policy in Iraq or in any situation where suicide/homicide bombers are a factor.

It's called complacency.
There are literally THOUSANDS of "dhows" floating around that part of the world. The Navy, not being the target of nearly as many attacks and mischief as the ground services, simply got used to doing business in its old way...board, search, and release. I bet those Sailors had no idea what hit them.
I also bet that that method changes, FAST. Also, it's a safe bet that some skipper loses his job.

Hey , weren't you the one looking for guns for your kid? :')
To: CindyDawg
Yep. Just thinking ahead.
He's only 9 months old. My wife goes crazy because I think of things for him YEARS ahead of time. She's forever telling me "he's only a baby!". I can't help it...I'm just excited to be a Daddy.

Thought so. I'll get back on topic but just wanted to let you know that I saw a water gun (had to be two feet long)at Walmarts todsy that shoots up to 30 feet and I thought of "short cut" :')

You people have to smarten up and stop trying live by your “rules of engagement” – It will only get you killed! I am not a military expert, nor am I trying to be, but, If something is coming towards you and you do not know who or what it is, SHOOT first ask questions later, it will save your lives, which is the most important. You are dealing with animals, they have no "rules of engagement".
