#4  It's always nice to bring a little something when you go visiting. Whether the gift is booze or some well-armed Marines and a little naval gunfire really depends on the occasion.

#2  I wouldn't mess with the Halyburton. She was the ship that took out the 3 pirates who had captured the American ship. (Yes, I know it was the SEALS who actually shot the pirates.)
