yeah, i just posted about that. did you see what the CEO of the company said? I like your PepsiMax analogy
Yep, of course the CEO any any upper management would say that, they aren't the ones on the boats in harm's way. Just like all the elitist lib types basking in their ivory towers in their gated communities not understanding why anyone would need to guns to protect their homes and loved ones.
How about send the bill (probably in the millions of dollars) for the rescue of their goods and employees to the CEOs then see what the have to say. I don't particularly think I want to pay for protection of companies doing business in hostile waters, but that is exactly who is paying for it, you and I.
this^^^Hire merc's who can run 20mm guns.
I respectfully disagree with some of your points, but understand where you are coming from. However, in the stating that the prirates can outgun the crews, wouldn't the crew's (at least a trained one) have a tactical advantage from having the hire ground? These are huge ships vs little ships right? Seems like every time they show a pirate ship on the news it is tiny compared to the ships they hijack.I am not totally convinced on this for several reasons...
- Most of the Pirates will still outgun the ships. The pirates have full auto weapons and RPG's and the like.
- it will be impractical to train the crews
