SEALs VS Pirates

VS.


Amen that US Navy SEALs saved Capt. Phillips from Somalian Pirates. This is a testament to our Navy's special forces and their abilities. SEALs by the way stands for SEa Air and Land, which are all ways SEALs transport to their missions.

Now, you've got to picture this folks...Capt. Phillips and the four Pirates...who no teen girls don't look like Johnny Depp...(though if they still dressed and acted that way, I'd give them mad props)...were in a floating sardine can. This little tiny life boat was essentially a submarine that couldn't go underwater. There were five people crammed in this little boat thing. Also there was only one tiny little window per per side.

Three Navy SEALs were laying on their stomachs on the back of a huge US Destroyer with their guns aimed at the same window. With the Destroyer rocking back and forth, the little life boat rocking even worse, and the SEALs aiming at the same window...which seriously is no bigger than a sheet of paper...each SEAL fired once, and each SEAL took out a pirate. 3 shots--3 hits. Oh and by the way...they didn't hit Capt. Phillips. How awesome are SEALs?

I'd like to take the time now to say that my high school principle...who was only there my senior year...thank the Heavens...told us once that he...a seaman...beat up a Navy SEAL. He told us this his first day on the job to scare the senior class because there was talk of "REVOLUTION!"
If anyone is actually reading this...you read the story about Capt. Phillips, the Pirates, and Navy SEALs, and you decide weather or not Mr. G actually beat up a SEAL.

I only added this last portion because I think what Navy SEALs do is incredible, the rescue mentioned before just one amazing feat on a very long list, that they shouldn't be sullied by those who have ego issues. Also I warned you from the first post that this was going to be scary for some to read. I mean seriously, part of SEAL training is to be put underwater with weights on till you pass out--underwater--to increase your ability to survive in the water if a mission should go bad. SEALs and DELTA Force and Marine Force Recon are seriously real life Batmans...only they protect the whole world not just Gotham. That's also not a slight on Batman, he does amazing work for one man in a huge city.
