i think 3 is to many just because you're american doesn't make your life any more valuable then theirs they had a tough life and only did what they did to survive a life is a life no one should be thought of less than just because of their upbringings. this doesn't apply to every life though

Under the circumstances they had little choice but to kill those three guys. Because for all they knew they were about to kill Phillips any second. The gun had gone off by his head, they were stringing him up with ropes. They knew that. What were they supposed to do? Wait for that to happen?
The pirates were the ones threatening his life, not the other way around.
I think the movie tried to show that they were in desperate circumstances and were only human. We saw that through Phillip's perspective, especially with regard to the kid and the leader. But the Navy had a job to do and that was to save the life of an American citizen who had been taken hostage and was being threatened with death by automatic rifle.
They did their job. -

Having a tough life isnt an excuse to put others in danger and hijack commercial vessels.
Life isnt going to be fair. You have to make do with what you get. Part of that is realizing that if you beep up, other people are going to take action against you. If you kidnap someone under the protection of the US Navy, what do you expect to happen from that? -

Well, you did have an extensive review on Alien, and that led me to believe that you would be open to discussion on science fiction films.
That reminds me, during Independence Day do you think that it was wise to use the president, and a drunk to spearhead a reckless attack or do you think they should have called in the navy? -

I have not done an "Extensive review of Alien"
Though I am active on the Alien and Aliens boards.
Why don't you post there on the appropriate board instead of hijacking this thread on a completely unrelated board.
I joined the Navy to see the world, only to discover the world is 2/3 water!
