This is the new, kinder, gentler US Navy we’re talking about here! Probably had to say “please” before opening fire...

Now, if they let the Marines on board deal with the issue, there wouldn’t have been anyone brought on board. Maybe some parts, but not a body...

Someone ordered 'cease fire' too soon, it appears. Bet they only fired one burst from one of the .50 cals.
