No more Harriers, no more helicopters, from now on you fly yourself.
Give it a couple of years and they will have to pay for their own jet fuel …

I thought exactly the same thing when I saw it.
Those Somali pirates are just going to stand around and watch aren’t they.

It would present a larger and slower target than a clay pigeon.
And like the clay pigeon, it wouldn’t shoot back. It takes both hands to control that jetback.

and IF they manage to land against the opposition they are more or less handcuffed for a few seconds before getting their hands out of the jet-gloves

They’ll be perfectly safe - the pirates will be crippled with laughter! All it needs is Buzz Lightyear wings…

Yep, and when the Marine does draw a firearm, it’s a pistol. Whereas the opposition will be totting AK 47s. Never bring a pistol to an AK fight.
