Actually, the Mexican police have been stepping up their action for some time now, some with the help of the US military. This is one crazy-ass war, that is for sure.

k-man, the police can't handle it. Just yesterday a car bomb detonated at a police station killing a commander and maiming 30 others. The military needs to be involved (and they are now).
Everyday a police commander is executed by these rats. I haven't heard of US Mil participation other than Nat'l Guard on 'observation' missions at the border.
I do know that multiple Predator drones will be deployed (unarmed) for surveillance. There are one or two up right now.
Bottom line? The Mexican military needs to confront these jokers. The bad boys are highly trained para-military with good firepower. Right now the do as they please. But the Mex Mil is stepping up. That's good.

Funny, AC, they were running BP enlistment ads on right wing radio...I considered it.
They were also running free chopper-pilot training if signed on to the company who would hire you. All the Viet-Nam era guys are retiring and they need pilots.
I was leaning towards BP, but the location was a deterrant. And I was never a fan of military-style 'boot-camps'. I could prolly suck it up and do it, but it ain't for me. I'll stick to manufacturing. If they re-state a shortage of good rednecks, I may reconsider.
What do you think of the recent violence by the Zetas down there?
Today's violence;

Well see, this is part of the problem. Every time a BP agent fires his weapon, HE is investigated as an aggressor. Everyone knows people coming across the border illegally are the aggressors.
They don't necessarily need to all be shot, but I think the BP should have a bit more faith from the DOJ and authorities as to why they fired a weapon.
F*#king bullshit ROE again.

AC, I don't think you understand the types that are crossing our border other than the ones 'doing the work Americans won't do".
These are bad guyz. You almost need special ops guys down there to dominate their skills. They have .50 sniper rifles, man! That's about a mile accuracy if you relatively trained on it.
You need to fight fire with fire, bro. Put some SEALS down there, maybe 2 teams. Seek and destroy mission.
The Zetas are tough guys. Think of them as mercenaries. Let's quit f*#king around and just do them!
This too;
Terrorists across the border?

Yeah, the narcos (as the Mexican locals call 'em) don't seem to have a problem with beheading the Chief of Police, or anybody else who appears to have a chance to cross them. The local papers don't report on the happenings any more because they shoot up everybody at the paper if any type of account comes out--even if it's just to say shots were fired.
When I was down at EPC in March, there were 15 beheadings in Acapulco in a week, police captians, judges, laywers, etc. The whole deal with dissolving bodies, it's rowdy.

Blue,
Until the Mexican people throw off the BS Government they have now, these
wars will only get worse.
The President is corrupt. The people who work for him are corrupt.
The army is corrupt. It is all corrupt.
The Mexican people deserve better and a revolution will most likely be
the only way out they have.
It isn't like they don't have a smart and hardworking citizenry, more than
capable of running a country. They have, in many ways, the best workers
and people you can find.
At least that has been my experience.

Yes, "lets". Good to know you "thought about" joining the BP, I'm sure those actually patrolling are in awe of your "almost, sorta kinda, thought about it", heroism and patriotism.
Yet another armchair warrior, screaming into the void between bouts of wiping away the Cheetos crumbs.
