NINJAS! They have so many tricks up their sleeves! All pirates have are swords, some guns, bad teeth and a serious case of B.O.

Well obviously you have fallen victim to one of the classic blunders... Never get involved in a land war in Asia... and never under estimate a Pirate...

TSgt Terry Hudson Check the history books there wing wiper! You'll find that pirates used EVERY trick in the book to plunder the sea. When you add in the fact that the nascent confederation and early U.S. nation issued letters of marque - which allowed pirates to attack all nature of vessels not specifically aiding America - you have what appears to be a regular ship plying the seas but in actuality are undercover war ships. An early, early version of the Q-ship!

Ninjas vs Pirates? Well let's see when it comes to Ninjas, it's always a quality vs quantity deal. The more ninjas in an organization the easier it is to kill them. Pirates hmmm which type are we talking about Somali pirates or Pirates of the Caribbean? The newer Somali pirates are better armed but not very smart and easily dealt with by our forces. So I say 1 Ninja (not the goonish mass of faceless disposable ninja) takes out Pirate's supply of citrus causing scurvy outbreak and then kills the crew in a swift action that eliminates crew.

Great Response. Though I doubt most pirates were aware of the cure for scurvy. At the time the British were the only ones who understood, and brought limes aboard, hence the moniker "Limey".

Pirate, hands down. Please refer to SFC Beau Deacon's post for supporting argument.

I personally don't see how it's even a contest. Ninjas typically are associated with supernatural speeds/strengths/abilities and pirates are just... pirates. Cool, sure, but not ninjas.

The Ninja were basically the SpecOps of feudal Japan. They were not the black-pajamas-wearing showboats we see in Western media, rather they were specialists in espionage, disguise, deception tactics, and hidden weaponry.

Pirates were/are basically thugs on a boat with a bunch of guns.

Now, Lieutenant...you can't categorically state that "it's science" and then leave it at that!

Where's the body of evidence? Where's the research? Show us some compelling statistics, even, man!

I think they did a ninja/pirate segment on that one show that compared different types of warriors.
I know they did a viking/samurai that was pretty interesting to watch.

SPC Brian Aranda I have a link for that show "Deadliest Warrior" further up in this thread. The science from their perspective showed that Pirates win.
