What if I only have a kayak?

You mean, I can seize a tanker?

 

[jbett98]

You could then sell the bales of cocaine back to the cartels. Sounds like a great business plan to me.

What a stupid idea.
This ain't the 17th - 19th century where letters of Marque were issued and effective.

Go right on ahead...get your boat shot full of holes and yourself killed.

To quote character Jerry Seinfeld, "This has international incident written all over it."

Brilliant idea, Senator Lee.

Totally agree!


Just wait until the internet is filled with videos of captured "privateers" getting skinned, burned, dismembered, and beheaded alive by cartel monkeys.....


Everyone wanna be gangsta, 'til it be time ta do gangsta sheite.

Someone correct me IF I am wrong but wasn't this (or something similar) at one time suggested private citizens could do with regard to illegal aliens crossing the border - specifically if on the Rio Grande river?

I MAY be thinking of something entirely different but I seem to recall some similar idiocy.

The whole point to U Toob - entertain the illiterate masses.

I first learned of this scheme on my YT feeds, and my prior post is the first thing that I said about the issue.


For starters, privateers will lack the support of:

1.
Intelligence agencies for effective mission planning.

2.
Training covering various scenarios, applied tactics and physical/mental stress conditioning (that one doesn't gain overnight).

3.
Viable (and critical) combat air support.

4.
QRF teams on standby to swoop in and bail their a$$es out WHEN things go sideways.

5.
Logistics of never ending ordinance, fuel, equipment, communication resources, food/water,
and funds.



Then there's all the insurmountable hoops of "legally" obtaining the REAL weapons needed for such an endeavor.



I can just picture all the clueless beer-bellied DF's lining up for this folly.

Yee haw!

Edit to add, I see these vids being an example of how to make chum from clowns, the likes of we've seen in videos - getting their first motorcycle at the dealership, or those who've never trained in racing stomping on the accelerator of their Mustang GTD as they enter a curve.
