Having lived along the border for a couple of years, the only thing i will add to this is it was bad in the seventy's when i was there and as you can see on TV now it is simply lawless now. The cartels are very plainly running the country and were doing so back in the seventy's as well as before that.

The only difference is before they simply bought the president and quietly went about making their billions and now it's openly in your face. The movie "Clear and present danger" wasn't as far fetched as it seemed at the time and a few simple air strikes will correct the problem for years to come.

There's no political will to end the drug trade in Mexico or here in the United States. It's like the defense department. Everyone knows where the bad guys are and just enough is done to prove the need for their existence. The drug war provides MILLIONS of jobs at all levels of law enforcement, federal, state, city and municipal locales. Add in hardware like guns, aircraft, etc. and software, the drug enforcement establishment is a jobs producing entity.

My neighbor was involved with the CIA and the drugs is south central America .I remember him saying we will never win the war until we stop the want .

Maybe they will ransom them back to the owner.

My experience in Mexico (real Mexico, not Cozumel) was completely different. Some of the finest people I’ve ever met. But that was 20 years ago and maybe things have changed. There’s no doubt that some areas are sketchy but the same is true for all coun0

It is really a nice place. I still remember the atmosphere in the resturant. but it was way down in mexico. Mid to late 70s. Gary

Gunmen Ambush Ammo Caravan Headed to Texas, 7 Million Rounds Destined for America Now in Hands of Violent Criminals

A convoy loaded down with more than seven million rounds of ammunition has been hijacked while on route from Mexico to Texas. While the trucks were found abandoned only a few miles from the ambush site on the southern side of the border, every piece of ammo is now missing. Officials do not know...

I read where they said mostly 22rf...

Desperate California shooters. They left the drivers alive. That’s not the Cartel.

The logistics of unloading (and reloading) that much cargo was well planned and executed. The tracking technology on the trucks/trailers disabled? Hmmmmmmm.

That took intelligence and hard work. Wasn’t a bunch of Snowflakes.

In central America, 22rf ammo is as good or better than cash. I bet that it's going south.

Wonder if they've started a new twist on "Fast and Furious"?

Ya know.......... they could take a trick used in WWII and use it against those bad guys. Load up a bunch of high pressure rounds and let them get stolen. Let’s say load a bunch of AK rounds full of pistol powder?

Project Eldest Son in Vietnam era.
But I don’t think the Cartel is concerned with any end-user injuries.
