    I agree with techall, and oberst. Station armed personnel on the ships with shoot to kill orders. Kill with extreme prejudice, and they will lose the will to engage in piracy. I know fr some, it sounds barbaric, and I'm not arguing that point one way or the other, but I bet it will put the pirates out of business.

    samsarks: Exactly what was unsportsman like about Team Korea? As a fan of baseball, that was a great game. Congratulations to team Japan. As an Ichiro fan I will come to his defense. As was stated earlier, he is only one man on the team, although I did see Manny Ramirez single handedly lift up the LA Dodgers. I'm a little curious as to why there aren't more Japanese and Korean players in the Major Leagues. I saw a lot of great talent out there the other night.

    Betting: I agree with you, mushroomcloud said a mothfulłand it was all correct. I still believe that Japan is a very important ally in the region, but facts are facts, and mushroomcloud stated them very well.

    Well, I guess if you play with fire, you stand the chance to gt burned. I agree with sme of the other posters on here. It makes absolutely no sense to go to another country and criticize their Head of State, Monarch, etc. whether it was intentional or otherwise. Just leave it alone, and wait until you get back home.

    Nothing wrong with big legs, as long as they're athletic.

    OssanAmerica: Thanks for the back up. He/she acted as if I was pulling the information out of my arse or something. The United States has declared war more recently than 1917. On Japan, and Germany in particular.

    Dogdog: The United States has only declared war 5 times, with Germany being the only country the United Sates has declared war on twice, 1917 and 1941. Maybe you need to read more, or get rid of the basic history book that you are reading. Again, you're welcome.

    Dogdog: When you ask "when did they las officially declare war on someone before taking military action?" Are you talking about military offensive, or defensive action? Because the United States declared war much later than 1917. War was declared on Japan December 8, 1941. War was declared on Germany December 11, 1941, and war was also declared on Italy, Bulgaria, Hungary, and Romania June 5, 1942. Maybe yur memory needs to be recalibrated a little bit. You're welcome for the information.

    "Once again I find some of the responses so typical and amusing for these types of news. For one thing, this IS a Japan related website. And any crime a US serviceman does is open to scrutiny, right or wrong. It would be the same if a US serviceman committed a crime anywhere else in a foreign country.

    So sorry, the usual cries of xenophobism and racism are as usual baseless and without merit (as always)."

    rjd_jr is Right, this would have easily made the news in the U.S., and it's a lot worse than if he would've, say gone shopping in the buff.

    Personally, I think he should have gotten the death penalty.

    Martial Arts education and profiteering are real obstacles. I spent a few months at a shotokan karate dojo, and we did nothing into the way of learning to fall, to roll, or groundwork. Maybe.. 40 minutes in 6 months. Mostly, it was anal-retentive correction of posture, lol. Yeah, my posture is going to be graded when a knife-wielding crack addict wants my wallet. You couldn't be effective in that dojo in under 5 years.

    telecasterplayer:

    As someone that has trained in the Bujinkan, let me tell you, that every class begins with practising rolling, and break falls, after bowing in of course. I too have been burned in the past by people claiming to be things, or teach things that they are not, fortunately, it hasn't been too many. I respect everyones opinion on here, and so I'll offer mine. I feel that the Bujinkan is very real, and very effective. As for the guy that fought in the UFC, and lost, claiming to train in Ninjutsu, I don't know anything on his background, so I won't say that he's a fraud, but from my personal experience, I don't know of any members within the Bujinkan that compete in MMA events, at least as a representative of the Bujinkan, as competition is neither encouraged or stressed upon. Though there may be some that cross train in BJJ (Brazilian Jujutsu), and compete from that aspect. There are a lot of people that do claim to be teaching Ninjutsu, when in fact they are not.
