I know this has nothing to do with this forum, but as a proud American and a former sniper I just want to say a few things
First I want to say how proud I am of Captain Phillips who acted in a manor that honors the history of US sea captains by offering himself to free his crew and in the great spirit of American POW's made attempts to escape his captors.
And of course to the snipers that took the shots. Preliminary reports appear that SEAL snipes took 3 simultaneous shots, at a moments notice when it appeared Captain Phillips may be shot. Three perfect headshots (on moving targets) later and in a short time Captain Phillips was on the USS Bainbridge.
Great job by the Commander of the Bainbridge for ordering the assault and lastly I guess I have to give a salute to the president (from a Republican) for signing the presidential order ahead of time to okay the whole thing.
To celabrate this whole thing I had to get some alone time. So I went out side and split a half cord of Ash. Overjoyed and full of pride driven energy I left the splitter covered and axed through it all in record time.
Salutes all around.
Its a great day to be an American
