Dutch Marines not Army.

You can't blame the pirates for giving up, I guess... No body armor, 4 or 5 AK's, 2 Tokarevs, 2 RPG's... Not much of a match against an elite team of Dutch Marines in a helicopter gun ship.

Wow that was intense. Reminded me of an old mission on Rainbow Six.

Looks like the Dutch were the only ones with the balls in the EU force to do something.

It does look like that! Then again, the EU is not really known for their use of force. Generally the EU likes to leave any needed butt kicking to us, as they don't want to upset anyone!
