The raid on the South Korean Samho Jewelry was rare because it happened a week after the ship was seized; it was not clear if the crew was in a citadel on Friday, but at least the wounded captain was not. Militaries are usually reluctant to launch such raids because of the risk of harm to hostages. A French rescue in 2009 that came two days after a sailboat was taken left one hostage dead.
Friday's raid marked the first rescue operation by a South Korean navy vessel that has been deployed in the Gulf of Aden to help fight piracy since 2009.
"This operation demonstrated our government's strong will to never negotiate with pirates," Gen. Lee said.
Countries have different criteria for deciding whether to launch raids, said Graeme Gibbon-Brooks, the head of Dryad Maritime Intelligence, which provides information about piracy to shipping companies. Some countries are aggressive, but others consider that the risk of hostages being caught in a crossfire was greater than the risk of waiting out the hijackers.
But he said it's unlikely the pirates would try to retaliate by harming other crews.
That "would be spectacularly unwise. Somalis are known for being good business people and I think that that would lead to very a quick collapse of their business model," he said.

PASKAL is one of the most elite special force in MAF, their training are gruesome and ruthless and their brain also, well some sort of short already.
one of the training i heard is throw them into the sea, with only salt and bayonet, and survive for more than two weeks, report duty at their base on time, if not, fail
