We should not rescue people stupid enough to go to Somalia.



The Somalian pirates need to be stopped. They're getting far more aggressive and spreading out over time.


They're terrorists, aren't we at war with terrorism?



They were not kidnapped by pirates. They were WILLINGLY in Somalia participating in de-mining efforts.


While I might appreciate their eagerness to put their own lives at risk while pursuing humanitarian causes, I don't believe we should spend a dime trying to rescue them once the inevitable happens.

Sorry, Cutt added the part about pirates, not the article.

Hell, I bet this was easy enough to be considered a training op for the seals, though.

I agree. We have no place violating the borders of another soverign nation with military forces without it expressly being allowed by its legitimate government.

In my mind, this is what our military should be used for. Get in, get it done right, get out. Not "find a new place to live for a few decades".



It is the way the world is going. Globalized world requires globalized action. Less need for mass forces and occupation, more need for special ops and specific, short infiltrations. Of course we need a standing military but the full scale invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq were foolish.

no

A nation has a responsibility to protect its citizens.

There's a reason we stuck to diplomatic channels.

That would be because the hikers were arrested by the government there, not kidnapped by pirates.

Why do we still have Somali pirates sailing around taking prisoners? Obamafail he can't even keep Africans from pirating.
