“standing orders allowing the Captain of the Bainbridge to take action if he saw that Captain Phillips’ life was in imminent danger. “
“It seems clear that the Obama administration deserves some credit for allowing the Bainbridge captain to take action if Capt. Phillips’ life was in danger. It would have been hard to justify a ban on such action. “
If those were the rules of engagement God help our sailors .
This is setting them up for another USS Cole incident.
To me this rule looks like having to fight with your hands tied behind your back. Our sailors were fired upon yesterday I can’t imagine the amount of restraint they had to have not to fire back . Truly this is a testament to how well they are trained .
God bless our troops
