This may be the craziest/best idea I have heard yet. Congress hasn't issued a letter of marque in slightly less that two centuries(that whole issue with the barbary pirates). But what an interesting idea.

leave our soldiers out of it. leave the cia and the rest of the spooks out of it. bring back the privateers. When i was eight I dreamed with my best friend of growing up to be a privateer. We had it all figured out.


Anyone know what a used c-130 goes for these days? I'd like a combat talon version but I want it rigged for the jato bottles like the navy uses for launching off carriers. and one of those kiowas that fit in the cargo bay of the herc. hmmmm I've got a few calls to make.
