No, really. Mark down today's date - the modern French military contributes to the world.

Man, these pirates are seriously getting on my nerves. I would suggest airstrikes, but bombing a bunch of mud huts seems like a waste of good munitions.

Bomb the ports they operate out of. That'll put an end to both their ships and whatever support they had from the locals.

I say, treat their "vows of revenge" as a declaration of war. The US may have an over-inflated opinion of itself, but responding to a declaration of war with the full power of the US war machine ought to make a couple of Somalis with rowboats and AK-47's take note.

Agreed. Let's see how tough they act against a carrier battle group.

Either that, or let's make turn the Marines back into marines. Let's see how a tub full of half-trained buccaneers do against an onboard platoon of the USMC.

Well, don't forget that the French are also taking on the Scientologists.

You know America has already won two wars against pirates. We're almost 200 years without another pirate war. We could use one.

None. They always surrender right before they finish the job and never tell you why.
