Ninjas Headed For Extinction

I'm sure that's not remotely the case. They're just not ninjas anymore.

I wonder, could special operations teams receive ninja training?

Special ops tend to distill anything useful they can find, regardless of nationality or time period. I'd be surprised if they didn't take a few notes.

They mentioned in the article itself that several special forces guys from different countries were actually students of one of the masters, so yes, they definately are. Hell, the US Marine Corps even has a camp which specializes in teaching CQB combat techniques and a mixture of other fighting styles, and they're considered to be a pretty effective school.

So, in a cruel bit of irony, the ninja way of life will fade into the shadows, never to be seen again...

Just like an actual Ninja.

Who'd a thunk it?

You realize, this means the pirates won.

Seems so.

The eternal war is over.

Wow. The world is at peace, but at what price?

Ninjas may be gone, but they will never be forgotten. They live on in the shadows of our hearts, assassinating our hopes and dreams in the battlefield of memory until the end of time.

Obligatory.
