These forces need to be training the Mexican population to resist the narcos. We're headed towards military operations against the soon to be victorious narcos in Chih and special forces would go a long way in prepping the battlefield. And maybe if we're lucky, a successful low intensity campaign fought by the people might unseat the narcos before we have to do it by conventional means.

When will the US learn that we are providing training and equipment to our own future enemies. We need to adopt a homeland defensive posture. The militarys primary objective should be guarding American soil, especially all the borders, airports, seaports, especially the southern border against the cartels and illegal aliens. America first!

From someone who has been there and seen and participated in this first hand, I would just like to say that contrary to seemingly popular belief, these campaigns are succsesful. It is not wise to shut ourselves from the rest of the world as lock n loaded believes. We have spent to much time with that already and it has gotten us no where fast. Instead the idea is to ensure that these people do NOT become our future enemy, but our ally. Why would we need to shut ourselves away from the world and spend all our time guarding when it is possible to ensure that no one wants to attack us in the first place? And for that matter if someone does, why is it a bad thing to have the support of several other countries and nations? These exercises are designed to build alliances and to stop a future problem at its source, before it actually becomes a problem.

Daily Horoscope for May 18

Scorpio

Forget about following convention and saying what's expected of you today. Instead, have the guts to speak from the heart and say what you think, even if that means sounding unconventional or weird. So what? Let people think what they like about you. Besides, you could be pleasantly surprised when you discover that there are some kindred spirits who agree with every word you say.
