All about american superiority....


This is a great film! I will not deny that but last 30 mins is all about how good america's military - if anything its a promotion add to join the navy seals!

reply

The American military is good at what it does.


The fact that they are good at murdering innocent brown people. Nothing to be proud about.

A good percentage of those "third world nations" have a better grasp of English than you do. Learn to spell before spewing your xenophobic nonsense.

reply

The USA is not responsible for either the internet or feeding the third world.

They are fed despite American capitalism, and the internet was invented by the British.

I agree that the US military is good at killing civilians - from Vietnam to Iraq. But they are no good at winning wars. They have been defeated in every conflict since Korea, with the exception of Grenada. And that required three army brigades to defeat 250 Cuban workers.

LOL The British have not invented anything since tea and crumpets, tht's why they need the Americans to save them in WW1 and WW2. Everything you are using to post your nonsense was invented by the Americans; Internet, Electricity, Computers; all of it #LOL
BTW Iraq lost the war, so did Afghanistan and North Vietnam. They only came out of hiding like cowards to kill their own civilians AFTER America left. They were lucky Trump was not President, he would have just nuked them all; Somali pirate terrorists, Vietcong Communist terrorists, Palestine Muslim terrrorists; all of them #LOL

"...and North Vietnam"

Yeah, sure. Greetings from Ho Chi Minh City... 😂

LOL You might have been born in Ho City, but it's still called Saigon. Welcome to the Ignore List, Trollbot #LOL

The English invented the world wide web. Sir Tim Berners Lee.

Not to mention, what language are you using?

reply

LOL That Berners-Lee nonsense has been debunked. Go ahead and load up Timmy's "world wide web", see if it will even work, there's a reason he couldn't get a patent #LOL
Americans, specifically the war-like killer Pentagon Americans, invented the internet, just like Americans invented the electricity and computing devices you are using to post your nonsense #LOL
It was absolutely pathetic how the British parade Berners-Lee around at the London Olympics opening ceremony as if he actually was somebody who had actually done something, can you imagine Mark Zuckerberg being recruited to do something like that at the upcoming LA Olympics? #LOL
The English didn't even invent English, that's why Beowulf is unreadable. The language we are using here is a mixture of German, Danish, French, Greek and Latin.
The British play a curious game called "cricket", which itself appears to be a primitive rip-off of baseball, except it is extremely boring #LOL

reply

It was not debunked, he created the world wide web. We are still using it. Where do you get your facts?
The British clearly did invent the modern English we use now.
The English inventor Edward Davy has claim to the first electronic device.
Baseball was invented in England too, first quoted in 1744. Not that it matters, cricket and baseball are mind-numbingly boring ‘sports’.

Well, we got tired of killing White and Yellow people last century...

Wow. Dumb.

"The fact that they are good at murdering innocent brown people. Nothing to be proud about."

Actually, I'm quite proud of it...

reply

The american army or any other army in the world should look superior to 4 under age black guys trying to take over an american ship. Duh,

Lol @ "under age".

But then again, that's how these "under aged" unaccompanied babies making their way to Europe look like: full beards, balding at the temples, beer guts, the works.

Superior Somali genetics the only explanation I guess.

reply

I can't believe human scum like you actually exists in the world.

So funny.. :))

Yeah, they truly excel at murdering poor brown people who are unable to defend themselves.

The superiority of a trillion dollar military, with state of the art technology and thousands of trained staff, against four impoverished, out of work fishermen with machine guns and flip-flops (well, three of them had flip-flops)?

Just because I stumble down the road like a drunk, that doesn't mean it's the wrong one.

Let us know when you find some innocent ones.

Indeed. The Somali pirates were not "innocent un-armed brown people" asa some both here and other threads have said; they were criminals. Nothing else.

reply

The U.S.A. is superior. If it wasn't, it would be just another third-world shithole like Somalia. The Somalis in this instance were murderous criminals who terrorized and threatened the lives of innocent people. There is no excuse for that behavior. The Navy was justified in taking them out.

Why did you not like it?

reply

It was boring. The story could have been done as a cheap made for tv film. I know it was a real life story but when it happened it really wasn't that remarkable of a story. Even dramatizing it didn't help matters.
