Open Season on Drug Cartels

[biku324]

7th Special Forces is supposedly "training" Mexican forces.

What's to stop the cartels from throwing money at the folks trained by the US from SF or School of the Americas and using them against our guys?

The 20th Century called an wants their scandal back. School of the America's closed in 2000. US Army School of the Americas (USARSA/SOA)

It wasn't closed, it still has the same mission, but different name. But whatever.

With your logic, are you going to tell me that Bragg, Benning, Hood, Polk, and other bases closed when their names changed?

Legalizing marijuana was the worst thing that ever happened to Colorado. And obviously we were heading left before marijuana was legalized but after marijuana was legalized Colorado went hard blue because of all the lefties moving in here from other states

I had the occasion to meet a transient who was walking from the Las Vegas area to Oregon, because of drug legalization. Certainly explains the instantaneous growth in the Oregon homeless population, after legalization.

It would depend on whether the name-changed bases have a command structure under a separate, new interdisciplianary and interagency Board of Visitors, new inclusion of human rights training in all curricula provised to all security forces from any country, and independent (third party) monitoring of human rights violations by students.

Have you worked a lot with the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation?

It seems like you want to argue. It was a rhetorical question.

Have you worked a lot with the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation?

Maybe I have or maybe I haven't. Or maybe it was the School of the Americas when I knew it.

Either way, does it matter? <---------Rhetorical question
