Privateers are private individuals. Not military. They just happened to be paid by a state.

The only distinction is for Venezuela to make. They won't handle an act of war the same way as an act of piracy - and they shouldn't be expected to be responsible for US internal politics, or give a shit.

Did you mean to reply to me? I'm pretty sure I made it very clear these were not privateers and was instead the military.

When I said "They committed state sanctioned piracy" I was replying to a comment asking about historical privateers. "They" refers to those historical privateers not the current situation with the US military being used
