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.

Hmmm... Decoy cargo ships full of Marines? I think we're onto something there.

That would be a great idea for a movie. lol

Based on your title, I call shennanigans

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

Fuck that, put a few Marines with dual M2HB .50 cal MGs on ships. If those pussies want to come within range then thats fine by me.

with French forces seizing a bandit mother ship

What its a space battle now?


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

Well, its either the US comes in or you have to trust the french to win a war on their own.

I wonder could we bring back the concept of Q-ships?
