PS: I don't really understand what all the heat against Handy is about. I fully understood what he meant. I knew he was not busting on the troops themselves. Sheesh, guys. If we always take literally everything everybody says, we'll be arguing non-stop until...
+1. I understood what he meant, too. No issues with at all. Apparently, there's more than one way to look at his comment.
As for pirates, we can't smack them before the commit piracy, but for the life of me I can't figure out when we lost the subtle art of repelling boarders, and if necessary, by means of deadly force. Did it just go out of vogue, or something?
Lol...
On a more serious note:
Title 18 U.S.C. § 1651 states: Whoever, on the high seas, commits the crime of piracy as defined by the law of nations, and is afterwards brought into or found in the United States, shall be imprisoned for life.
Look like some teeth to me. There's no requirement with respect to the nationality of the prirate or the victim.
