Only the US Military would do this

Only the US military would allow a small life boat with 4 pirates in it and 1 hostage sit and make fools out of them. You’re not telling me there is no way to get this pilot away from these 4 men. Now they are going to sit and watch while another pirate ship comes in and picks up the 4 pirates and the Pilot and take them away.
I sure hope the US soil is never invaded. If it is these idiots will “sit and think about it” until the invaders have control of the whole country. Obama won’t even talk about this situation on camera. I think he is just sitting and hoping it will go away. If this is any example of how Obama is planning on running this country we are in deep do do. Now is the time to send a very strong message to this band of pirates that they will think about before they mess with another ship that is sailing under the American Flag.

Unfortunately the US is not the only country who would let them do it the British Navy would probably have to let them do the same for fear of hurting the pirates. Seems like the US Navy and British are not allowed to do what everyone thinks they should and use force to teach the pirates a lesson. Until force is effectively used the pirates will keep doing what they are doing.
I believe the French and Indians have had success using force, whilst the british were forced to release some Somali pirates back to Somali after they were captured.

You make shark food out of a few of these pirates they might rethink their business. They are not in US waters or on US soil so they have no protection from our courts or anything else. 4 good sharp shooters could take care of the 4 pirates in the life boat in very short order. Also they just said the Navy Seals are on the hijacked ship that is headed to port without it's pilot. Why are the Seals not there dissolving this situation like they are trained to do?
