Ever heard of the Barbary pirates? Do you know how TJ stopped them? He attacked their bases and killed every last one of them. Yeah, pirate attacks soon disappeared... Yay for Thomas Jefferson!

I think the pirates realized they were out-classed and stood no chance. A rag-tag bunch of pirates cannot stand against a well-trained and professional force. I wish I understood the narration... Nice little movie. That whole website is neat. Check it out sometime... The link is www.strategypage.com/

#5 pluisjen May 08, 2010 12:10:34	The narration isn't very interesting really, he's just talking about what you can see already, how they rappel down, that they give covering fire, that they're cuffing up the pirates, etc.
#6 Cpt_Micha May 08, 2010 12:18:18	There was one thing in the video that surprised me. The marine the camera is mounted on looked away from the pirate coming down the stairs. You'd never see that in Swat in the Us or the military.
#7 pluisjen May 08, 2010 12:23:21	He wasn't on his own, and if you here a second threat someone has to face it, I guess? They probably had a good reason to look away
#8 Cpt_Micha May 08, 2010 12:24:43	ah. The camera really didn't show the other guy covering the stairs. Wasn't meant to knock the Dutch Military there, I just thought it was odd given the information the camera view presented. I wonder if anyone uses panoramic cameras in the military for things like this. So the Afteraction report can be more detailed like that.
#9 pluisjen May 08, 2010 12:27:44	It's a good way to have a second set of eyes, too, if you can get a live feed. And I don't really care if you knock on the Dutch military But one of the things you hear in the narrative is he's telling that someone else is ordering the pirate down from the stairs, not him. Which probably explains why he's still looking around.
