SGT, you have nothing to be ashamed of nor worry about "being a hardass". Dude, BE a hardass! Thats what you're trained to be!
Hillary Clinton just got on TV again and re-stated what the United States policy has ALWAYS been: The United States will not pay any kind of ransom nor deal with pirates or any other type of terrorist. period.
She didn't say anything about the individual COMPANIES within the US though.
There was another attempt on a US flagged ship again. This time, the pirates were firing RPG's at it and shooting at it....It's crew all went to the engine room and the captain steered the ship while at full speed. They eventually evaded the pirates. The same Navy ship that helped the last hijacked ship steamed to their rescue. They escaped unscathed though before the Navy arrived. I'm telling you....Sea martials is the way to go.
