As a reformed pirate I can tell you that these guys don't care, they're equal opportunity pirates. If a ship is armed and ready to defend itself I am sure that will discourage them from boarding but keep in mind that preventing them from boarding doesn't prevent them from making use of those lovely RPGs, presumably a gift from mom, they're wielding. These are poor and idle men/boys with nothing to lose, a very dangerous combination. Again, if I am American ship I wouldn't feel secure and I certainly wouldn't announce my Americanness.
