U.S. naval gunners returned fire with mounted machine guns.

Great!!! Recall when they were attacking cruise ships/ figured then that a good decoy set up would encourage them to continue. They should have sent a helicopter gunship in to do the job. No survivors = no prisoners of War or what.

Interestingly enough after WWII we repatriated German and Japanese POWs. They went home and blended back into their societies as useful citizens on the whole. Built up some major economies. Go figure- what can we ever do with the so called POWs from Iraq and Afghanistan? Are they ever likely to become peaceful, productive members of their cultures????
