MEXICO CITY – The Mexican army acknowledged for the first time Friday that some of its soldiers have been killed by bomb-dropping drones operated by drug cartels.
Defense Secretary Gen. Luis Cresencio Sandoval did not provide exact figures on the number of casualties suffered in the attacks, almost all of which occurred in the western state of Michoacan.
“Our personnel have suffered wounds, and some of our troops have even died” in the attacks, Sandoval said. The army had previously acknowledged that soldiers had been wounded in Michoacan by improvised explosive devices, or IEDs.
Uh, this is not smart. This is just asking for military intervention. There’s a reason why the mafia never wanted to kill police officers.
Especially with the US being a strong ally of Mexico. We have Republicans frothing at the idea of firing missiles across the border at drug cartels. Nothing but bad things happening for the cartels if that gets greenlighted.
Give a right wingers a justified reason to hurt someone and they will stop at nothing to do the job.
imagine the lucrative never-audited military contracts.
So…we should…send the right wing nut jobs…to Mexico?
