Letter of Marque in the modern era

[727Sky]

Let's talk about issuing Letters of Marque in the modern era... and why American pirates might not be as crazy of an idea as it seems. Calling all pirate wannabees ! I want to know how the payment schedule will work and do Drones count ??

Way back when Privateers could own "cannons" would this mean we could buy 105s and 155s for our paddle boats... Heat seeking moisture missiles or drones might work best with less recoil ?? !!

If this goes through I might start a flag company as no respectful pirate wannabe can sail forth into battle without a show of colors IMO.. In this case the Red flag with all its meaning might be very popular ??

Is a flag of death going to win a war, sure. So going all Somalia on China is a good plan? I will pass. It ain't the 1800's when those kind of tactics where easier to get away with.

As for the the other pirates sailing the digital sea in the information age, national boarders are blurry against things like ransomware. Need to be good to avoid the blow back from the waves such things generate.
