As a respected freeper (Squantos) suggested -- there is ONE valid justification for allowing any of these bastards to survive the act of firing on a warship....
That was to "tag" and release, then follow the sonuvabitch back to his home base and kill everyone there.
Other than that - it was a waste of time, waste of medical supplies to tend to the wounded and an unacceptable risk to our sailors to put them at risk collecting and handleing prisoners.. Plus we have to feed the bastards Islamic approved food, provide new Korans and point their stinking asses to Mecca...
Semper Fi
Especially when plentiful Red Sea sharks are more than willing to clean up the mess.
