[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 518082, member: 2189"] Over, I read your post and I agree the pirates are cowards and basic theives and if you shoot back, they'd run for cover. The solution almost seems so simplistic. As I read your post I just wondered if placing US military personal on board a commercial vessel would change it's status from commerical to military? I know it seems lunacy and if society always used common sense, it would be but law is a Twister Sister (to borrow the band name) and doesn't rely or use common sense anymore. I don't have the answer, just the question and that is, does military personal on board in effect change the jurisdiction? The Lusitania came to mind as I was reading and thinking about your idea. I agree with your idea although instead of gov't troops, as others have pointed out, use mercenaries under the employ of the shipping company! [/QUOTE]
