No doubt some will try to paint them as poor vagrants just in need a some bottles of water…

The reality is that whether there are bosses back in land, setting out in a go fast with RPGs and AK-47s is not a move for innocent people.

Play stupid games, win crazy prizes.

No one hurt.

Must've been awesome for the boarding party. Sounds odd, but at the end of the day, we train to do the job, and when all the pirates have are blades, you know it's relatively low risk.

@Admins: necroposting since it's essentially the same topic, thread could be renamed to "All things piracy" or some such.

Desperate people in an enclosed space with knives are never ‘relatively low risk’. Not to say the op wouldn’t have been cool to be a part of, but clearing that kind of space where someone getting close enough to make a knife count was a real possibility would have been hairy.

BZ to the troops who did the op. Sounds like it was well done.
