We’re so used to wasteful government, it’s nice to see how efficient our snipers are. They had three targets to take out with the pirate incident, and how many bullets did they use to do it? Only three! Even if they had some horrible contract for those bullets and they cost $500 each, that still seems like a pretty good deal to rid the world of three pirates. Next time you see wasteful government, tell them to be more like snipers. Or at least kill pirates.
With today’s price of ammo, they don’t want to fire more shots then they need to!
Next up for ammo efficiency: two pirates with one bullet
Weighed against the pointless – yet costly – jury trials that Pelosi, Reid, Clinton, and other liberal wussies would prefer, while granting these enemy combatants honorary citizenship to receive legal benefits they’re not entitled to, bullets at twice that price would still be a bargain.
It isn’t the price of the bullets they use that drives up costs for our military; what really costs is the necessity to travel to the ends of the earth to be allowed to use them.
Can’t we find somebody needing shot in the head much closer to the US? Isn’t Fidel Castro still alive? How about that Venezuelan fellow, Chavez? Ooops, I forgot for a moment we don’t assassinate heads of state. Sorry.
May I suggest starting rumors of pirates in locations both close to the US and in lovely resort areas for the convenience and comfort of our Navy Seals? Maybe Cozumel or Ixtapa or even Miami? They’d like it a lot, I bet!
Ron Paul suggests “outsourcing” as a way to more cheaply give pirates lead poisoning.
Currently unemployed privateers take notice….
Hey the other day in Halo, a friend of mine got a triple kill with one bullet – it went through one head and one torso before hitting the final guy in the back. Now that’s efficiency.
It’d be awesome if we could hit the pirates with rail guns.

We need bullets that can split into three separate bullets after they’re shot.
Those so called piraes were just young teenage boys really just hangin’ out and Obama killed them. He ordered them shot in the head. These were good muslim kids. Not really hurting anyone. I have word that one of them was working on his maritime scout badge and another wanted to be a harber master when he grew up.
But now…now they are dead thanks to Obama. I just hope the chickens come home to roost!
Snipers:One shot, one kill, at 1000 yards. Snipers:You can run, but you’ll only die tired. Snipers:Life is cheap, about the cost of one bullet. Snipers:Reach out and touch someone. Snipers:If God didn’t want me to kill, he wouldn’t have made me so good at it. Snipers:My Marine Sniper can pick of your honor student at 1000 yards. Snipers:Our personal space begins at 1000 yards. Snipers:If you hear my shot, I missed. I don’t miss. Snipers: Assistance from a distance. Snipers: If it’s tourist season,why can’t we shoot them? Snipers:Two lines you should never cross, my vertical, and my horizontal. Snipers:Because you only get one shot to make a first impression. Snipers:Group therapy is in the black at 1000 yards. Snipers: ‘Help from above’ is a Sniper in position. Snipers: Soccer isn’t the only game with head shots.
Well, at least the Feds are getting more efficient at hunting down right-wing extremists and other Enemies of
welfare bum Joe the crack addictthe People.That’s it! 1: all newly elected officials should be forced to undergo navy seal training 2:elected officials need to explode the heads of at least 2 pirates before being allowed to take office 3: to run for re-election they should undergo seal training all over again.
The president of a country with 200 million Caucasians killed three poor black teenagers. In a lifeboat no less. Where is the outrage?
Outrage coming up. You Patrick are an “expletive” idiot.
Well I for one am “outraged”! THERE WERE FOUR TARGETS. I want my money back! Somebody was asleep at the switch… and I for one am not going to stand by while our great country is reduced to a state that after careful planning and preparation… hundreds of thousands of dollars in training…. we cant even smoke four pirates. I mean when you really think about it, 3 outta 4 is only 75%. Could you do your job at 75% and keep it? (Dont answer that one Frank ) I dont know .. seems to mean that somebody has some splaining to do…
raml,
I was being sarcastic. It’s a joke. As for
You Patrick are an “expletive” idiot.
You’re probably right. If President Barry knew how I voted, he would agree.
TerribleTroy,
Maybe if we tossed the fourth pirate off the destroyer, told him to swim to San Diego, we would of been able to offer him a position in the next SEAL class. This is my attempt at Hope and Change. I Hope to have a SEAL fluent in a Somali pirate dialect. The pirate now has an opportunity to Change his outlook. Allah willing and the jelly fish don’t rise.
I would also like to congradulate the SEAL’s. I had always thought that commandos would only be physical. But our operators were able to use psychology on those poor African teenagers, out trying to earn their Marine Relations merit badge. Our SEAL’s were able to get inside their heads. Deep inside. Change their misguided behavior. Our commandos got right to the point. Even if that point was hollow. And copper jacketed. And had a boat tail. Thank you SEAL’s, crew of the USS Bainbridge, and invited FBI guests. Also to the members of all of our allies that helped out.
#10 Live Free, thanks for those, and I’ll be using them. My kid was just named 5th best shot in the country. There are four (4, and exactly 4) guys I will not be messing with.
Today I had the distinct honor of watching Chesley Sullenberger receive the Jabara Award for airmanship. There were 5000 of us there (4500 in blue), and I didn’t hear anybody say he didn’t deserve it.
I think they left the 4th alive so they could openly mock the look on his face and load in his shorts that developed after his buddies’ heads turned to fine pink mist. Even SEALS need a chance to cut loose and laugh for a while. Other than giggling like a dentist on his own Nitrous at the manner in which the Somali Pirates just got much shorter and dropped to the ground. I know I’D be laughing like that. I’m still waiting for the YouTube video.
The FBI has snipers too. (*cough-Ruby Ridge-cough*)
4-o’-7, don’t we just know it, and HS Precision used his endorsement in their ads!
Because that’s just how they roll.
The same ‘Efficient government’ that solved the pirate crisis is, unfortunately, just as ‘efficient’ at taking out dogs, boys, and women holding infants. I’m just sayin’ …
Hopefully, the SEAL’s are less politically compromised than the FBI.
If I ever get sniped, I’d like it to be for something I Did; Not for something I represent.
