These pirates are caught red-handed, and our ROE only allow us to put holes in their skiffs??? What about the mothership? Did the Navy simply let it go?
What the Navy needs is more warriors, and fewer lawyers. More focus on maritime security, less on political correctness.

Its bugger all to do with political correctness, its to do with the possibility of managing to kill all the hostages that may be held on the mothership.
India showed how easy it is to screw up when tackling a pirates mothership.

If you could find a way to determine at sea who on the ship is guilty of piracy and who is an innocent hostage and found a way to board the ship and sieze it from armed men without endangering the hostages then forget about being elected president for a day, stand for the office of god.
