The flagship too!! Dumba*sses...

 

[muller]

Why'd they chase them? Why didn't they just blast the sh*t out of them??

Following the rules of engagment perhaps?

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

I bet they take a better gander next time.

 

[GrauGeist]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but rules of engagement would pretty much cover returning fire if attacked...

The French should have turned the Somali's position into an expanding debris field.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

My thoughts exactly!!

 

[vikingBerserker]

Blow up a couple, and I'm pretty sure the rate of piracy will drop.

 

[RabidAlien]

I totally agree. I think snipers need practice on moving targets!

Unfortunately its not isolated to these rebel pirates, given that most if not all are backed by the Somali government in one way or another.

Looks like the pirates attempt at intimidation, I agree with you guys though extremely stupid move.

Somali? Government?

Nah, but I really have no clue what the rules of engagement are.....

Most of them were probably giving the Oh Sh!t command when they realized it was a french warship, much less the flagship.

I'm surprised that the French didn't reach for the sky and surrendered.....

This would have made you happy?

I think he meant it as a joke.

He was obviously making a joke. Get off your pride for a second, it is getting really old. Don't take everything so serious all the time.
