The only better outcome would have been four dead pirates.

A lot fewer Somali men will think piracy is an attractive occupation after today.

They might think piracy ***of American vessels*** is a bad idea, but they still control a lot of other commercial ships and hostages at the moment.

They are all situated right here, this is the pirate den:

Actually, if the one survivor lives, think of the intel we may get from him, providing we can still interrogate prisoners.

Yep. We bagged a bunch today and the French got some too. Didn’t an Aussie chopper take out a boat yesterday too? Making the pirates insurance go up lol.
