my brother-in-law is in the US Navy, and he told me that one time on tour, they were by Africa, and a ship filled with these African pirates armed to the teeth with RPGS came attacking the USA's destroyer
They let it stop and reload on food and water. When are they going to do something about it? After they've unloaded the weapons and tanks? I know it's not as easy as pulling alongside and tossing the gang plank over the side, but surely there's more to it than "wait and follow".

Haha somalia prolly the only country where there are pirates. Old men playing pirates...
How are they "playing pirates"? I don't think you understand this at all. They aren't playing anything. They buy boats. Rob people on boats. There is no playing involved lol.

And 54 tanks bound for Kenya or maybe Sudan depending on who you're talking to.
PS: Pirating in Africa is a multi-million dollar business. 10 million so far in 2008 paid in ransoms alone.

They arnt restricted to Africa.. alot come from Asia, South America and Eastern Europe. When you are applying for a "Captains License" there is a section specificly for dealing with Pirate threats.. most people going out into International waters take a few guns.
I doubt they will ever be eliminated. The Oceans are too vast, and is a reason alot of them are out there in the first place.. they are criminals who if ever set foot on land will most likely go to prison forever.
