Another promise being kept. If only all presidents had his love for this country.
I already know the positions various posters will take, but this is a good thing

Strategic Military Assets Counter Cartel Operations​

The destroyers will remain in the region for several months, disrupting maritime drug trafficking routes that cartels use to smuggle narcotics into the United States. These advanced warships possess sophisticated radar and weapons systems typically reserved for major military operations, underlining the seriousness of the threat posed by drug trafficking organizations. The deployment represents a significant escalation from traditional Coast Guard interdiction efforts to full naval military engagement

 
Will see if it has effect. A number of things our old Sheriff Joe did here in Maricopa County struck me as just for show and reading the article aroused that sense.
 
Yawn. We did these legal ops down there when I served. Hardly caught anyone
That's kinda the point, isn't it? Who in their right mind is going to try to run a US Navy blockade? If you try, you're gonna get caught and you really don't want to be chained to the deck of a destroyer for a week. Or more.

Hmm, this shit has been going on since Reagan.

Heh, Force Recon's gonna find Maduro and laser-paint where he is for a kaboomski. :terror:
Kinda like what Mossad did with some of Iran's leaders. Only higher velocity and bigger booms. Expect collateral damage when Maduro goes up in smoke.
 
I don't have much of an opinion on this. I want to see the Cartels wiped out, but at the same time I don't want to see the US start another major war.

Yeah because murdering foreign leaders is so cool.

Can’t fix stupid!

That is 100% correct. We caught just enough drugs down there to justify the expense of the extra fuel it took to seize the drugs. Millions of dollars in fuel burnt that we could have bought the drugs off the street for about the same amount of money.

I didn't care. I got a nice Meritorious Unit Commendation medal for my dress uniform.

The try to run the drugs at night. They are really surprised when we show up 50 yards off their stern and hit them with our search lights in the middle of the night.
