Just had this thought, because I myself didn't flinch at 3 unsavoury dudes being shot to save an American captain/husban

Since you are too ignorant to even grasp that this was the Navy, not the Army. I won't bother trying to explain how one innocent life of a hostage is worth more than an infinite amount of criminals willing to take a life for profit.
As soon as you threaten the life of another in the course of a criminal activity your life is forfeit.

As many as it takes to get the job done. For every piece of beep that is removed from the gene pool the world is a much better place.
^^^THIS!
I'd rather they do it themselves and I'll personally put them in for a Darwin award, but sometimes we just have to take action ourselves.
Love your signature
check the imdb cast list before asking who portrayed who in movies please
They can navigate the web to find a site such as IMDB, they sign up for an account, find their way to the message boards, learn how to navigate the threads and post their questions.
But somehow they still cannot figure out that no matter what film's message board they are in, they are only two clicks away from looking at the cast list!

ISIS only wish they could murder and maim as many people as the US does on a regular basis. You'll happily murder half a million Iraqi kids without breaking a sweat like the scumbag fascists that you are.

This is a ignorant comment. I'll explain why. Nobody is born evil, which is what you're implying. Accepting this fact, the next logical step would be, if people aren't born evil, than where do they acquire it? Good question, I'll answer it. Since evil is not innate, one must examine the common denominator in most "evil" people, the denominator is usually poverty. Hence, why you're method of letting them kill eachother, doesn't work. In the end, there will always be outliers, however to fix the problem we mustn't act as if evil is distinct to only evil people. To fix the problem we have to understand our flaws as human beings and the systems in which we live.

Nobody is born evil
Yes, they are. Some people have bad wiring/chemistry in their brains that means they have sociopathic/psycopathic tendencies, which will manifest as "evil" to a greater or lesser extent depending on their life circumstances. To argue otherwise is uninformed and naive. -

"Some people" is correct they're called outliers, like I said. However, the majority of people stem from poverty and nurturing conditions. watch this documentary or read a book on the matter. Either will help you learn.

Some? Try ALL. We're all born evil, some are just better at hiding it. As to the original question, you take out as many as are involved in the kidnapping. Ten, a hundred, a thousand, whatever. The kidnappers willingly got involved in the matter, they knew the Americans were going to do whatever it took to get back one of their own.
That's why it was important to get Phillips back before they got to Somalia, because the body count would have been a lot higher. Maybe a blood soaked, carnal reeking slaughter house of a rescue of Capt. Phillips from Somali territory would have been a good deterrent against further piracy. They'd realize the risk is no longer worth the reward.

No. Evil can come from bad upbringing, lack of values, a sense of entitlement, personality flaws, greed, lust for power,
There are plenty of people who do evil things that have nothing to do with poverty. Hitler didn't invade Poland or exterminate the Jews because of poverty. Ted Bundy or Charles Manson didn't do their evil crimes because of poverty. ISIS don't commit terrorist attacks because of poverty.
There is no excuse for evil, no matter what the circumstances, since to commit a good or evil act comes down to choice, and when presented with a situation, your choice is your responsibilty. If you choose to commit evil, it is your fault, first and foremost, because you could have chosen to react differently and addressed the problem some other way. -

I said "army" with a lower case "a" to denote any national military organisation not confined to the US or to this movie, so your hostility is unwarranted.
Beyond that, saying you'd kill an infinite number of criminals is rather extreme don't you think? If a threat of murder for profit makes you infinitely angry, you would be doing nothing else in your life than hunting down criminals.
I agree it's evil, but I'm trying to find a realistic estimate of how evil it is. "Infinite" is not helpful, just emotionally charged. -

Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice.
What happens when you reach your proposed arbitrary limit and the 100th guy gets away with it? Does he try it again? Are the 101st and 102nd guys emboldened to do the same?
