YES! We get a mulligan on this shot. We shot 75%. We can do better next time.

“YES! We get a mulligan on this shot. We shot 75%. We can do better next time.”

The Maersk crew should get at least an additional 10% for the stab to the hand of the 4th pirate which got him into the hands of the ship’s doctor (and out of the lifeboat).

Nope...

Three pirates, three shots, three kills...100%

The fourth pirate had already given himself up and was in our custody by that point.

There is a really good NYTimes article out there somewhere describing the whole thing.

We have some SHARP-shooters.

“We shot 75%”

They were actually 100%, 3 for 3. Number 4 just happened to be on one of the Navy ships negotiating when his buddies got their 72 virgins. Was it his lucky day or his unlucky day?

Actually our guys shot 3 for 3 - they weren't aiming at #4 - he was stupid enough to board our ship to negotiate.... was he really stupid enough to think we were going to hand him a wad of cash and send him back to his lifeboat?

They are telling the world he didn't want to go back and stayed willingly, but I tend to think they sat him down and "suggested" he not move.
