The pirates have taken over a 21 american crew Mearsk ship and have taken the captain hostage.
4 pirates boarded the ship and escaped with the captain and now sit at sea in the middle of some US Navy ships and are ready to kill the captain if a 2million dollar ransom is not paid.
What should be the U.S. response?
We send US Navy ships to the scene to do what? Watch?
My response would be:
Being that the life boat is enclosed this would make it a little difficult but not impossible to take the hostages out and bring the captain back to safety.
1st: Navy Seals need to get some underwater gear.
2nd: Send 2 seals at night to swiftly scope the area at night by underwater.
3rd: If you have an all clear? Send 5 Seals by underwater and tear gas the boat.
4th: Swiftly raid the boat.
(No room for errors)
OR
I would pay the ransom and as the pirates are leaving I would take the pirates out.
What Should The U.S. Do To The Pirates?
