That’s what I was thinking. Several nice Predators and some of those lovely helicopters that shoot rockets would put the fear of God and the United States in them. I also have a fantasy that we quietly arm our ships with big honking cannons, rockets etc and don’t tell anyone. When the pirates cruise up, we blow them out of the water and keep going like nothing happened. Nothing to see here. That scenario, repeated several times, would stop them once and for all. They would not know which ships were armed, and which were not. As you stated so well: Surprise! sshhhhhhhhhhhKABOOM. I think I’ll wander over to Jawa and watch some war porn, make myself feel better.
the fear of God and the United States, I LIKE THE WAY THAT SOUNDS!!!
