#1 Judging by the article, the China Sea is still maintaining its reputation for deadly pirate attacks.

#2 Shotguns! Wow, these must be the pirate princes. Usually they just hijack ships with knives, or occasionally, with nothing more than their own rank body odor.

#3 If its terrorists, than the attack is based on their lack of recent paychecks.

#6 I think the bozo climbing over the rail with the machete in his teeth would be quite surprised at the greeting that Jarhead provided.
