The Merchant Marines fight piracy all over the world. We fight piracy in the Philippines, the east and west coast of Africa, and the east and west coast of South America.
From Richard Phillips
Anytime money is your main focus, I think we all come to problems.
If we strive and continue fighting as best we can, we can overcome a lot of the personal and professional problems that we do have.
We really owe it to the military for what they do day in and day out that we never even hear about.
The most desirable and appropriate solution to piracy is for the United States government to provide protection through military escorts and/or militant detachments aboard U.S. vessels.
These pirates are evolving, and we must stay with the curve and evolve with them to stop these incidents from happening.
