The idea of security is to watch and guard all the point of entry on a boat, namely the stern. Well done UK.

I would hurl my Limey ass overboard.

3 security guards versus crazy skinnies.

This could very quickly become another armchair-hero argument where Americans and their Rambo-like mastery of guns offer their own heroic resolution to the scenario.

Yes, of course. 3 security guards keeping an omniscient watch over a chemical tanker.

And as if their nationality has anything to do with the news/outcome other than the relevance to the national news agencies.

I'm sure if it was 3 American security-guards, all of piracy in Somalian waters would have been eradicated instantaneously.

but they were SECURITY GUARDS, i think was the main point...

if it was crew, that would be one thing...but people actually paid money to protect the crew.
their credibility jumped off that ship as well, i would imagine.

Won't their credibility as security guards be useless if they are dead?

And a security guard should engage armed pirates for the sake of £7/8 an hour?

Yeah, it's easy to play the hero aint it. Infact I'll join in.


OMG wat pussies I woulda pulled out ma sidearm with it's leet lazoor scope and been like u wat ya fucking somali mongs ill knock u out wankers then take their guns off them and go rambo and kill them and then take out their mounted machine gun with ma throwing knife and then dun ma war cry which is engerland engerland engerland!

Yep, I agree with this. It's funny but you know, versus overwhelming odds I figure you'd go into the basic mode of human self-preservation!

And to reiterate my real point:

... as if their nationality has anything to do with the news/outcome other than the relevance to the national news agencies
American security guards, Icelandic security guards, Nazi SS Stormtroopers... all would have likely done the same thing. Nationality is irrelevant, human nature is the point.

I'm sure Usmarine and Awsmfox would have gone down guns blazing to defend what they're paid so handsomely for... like what, a tenner an hour? I would definitely die for the noble cause of protecting a ship full of chlorine and shitty chemicals- fuck my family and my own interests! This ship is full of hydrochloric acid! It is of the gravest importance!

Well yeah, it's his job. I expect my garbage man to throw my garbage into the super-awesomeness that is the back of a garbage truck for whatever wage he earns. If he doesn't like it, he can... y'know... not become a garbage man.

It's like those guys who bitch about having to go to war when they join the Army Reserves, even though they make it pretty clear that if needed you will be called up for deployment.

And jord, I don't need a leet lazor scope, my sidearm IS a lazor

ok well, after reading the whole article, i dont blame them.....



of course i would never sign up with a company that provides UNARMED SECURITY either



what in the fuck do they think is going to happen? they are fucking pirates, not stuffed animals.
this has to be one of the most retarded things i have ever heard.
we have warships patrolling that motherfucker, and they put three guys with radios on a tanker?

Do we know what weapons did the guards carry? For all we know they just had stun guns.

Are you serious? Garbage-men aren't required to die for $7.00 an hour.

I'm sure they would have done the job they were required to do if it was realistically save-able. If the ship is over-run by well-armed and experienced pirates though... fuck that, I'd be outta there! And so would you, quit the bullyshine.

Ya know the Army retreats sometimes when things get rough. I guess they should always hold their ground and go beyond the call of duty... Even if they all die to hold a shitty position that with a few days of reorg could be taken back...


But no, security gurds shoulda brapped all over them fuckin somalis with their leet security guard skills
