Marines Find 72 Bodies In Northern Mexico

Hence the NEED for tight Border SECURITY. I do not want a Mosquito to fly in from Mexico without the Border Patrol knowing about it.

yeppers I'm all for bringing the troops home to protect our borders. But I'm afraid they will go one step further and declare martial law. Then where will we be? Well besides screwed worst than we are now.

tight border security - that's not enough and will not solve the problem. To resolve this, a few important things need to be done. This whole thing is consequence of years of US influence in Mexico. That country is not free, is not a democracy and has no sovereignty. Things will get worse there, unless the US stops interfering. Let Mexico be. Then the Mexican people will eventually revolt against the dominant class, and change things there. It may take a few decades for that to happen though.

they are already kidnapping in AZ

A lot of them are people who mess with the mafia...hence playing with fire, and some are people who were crossed over by Smugglers ,coyotes, and havent paid their fee so....theyre held hostage until then.

They are kidnapping and killing people on this side of the border.

This is why we have the Posse Comitatus Act. We might have to tweak it a bit, but I think we could deal with that problem.

I did not say that was the only thing we need to do, but it is the FIRST thing we NEED to do.

I did not know that it's never in the News.

Really I had no idea. Lets hope it makes the news one day. Then we will be able to do something about it in a mass force.

then tweak it we shall do

It is in the news, just not the news that most people on here want to watch.

It's on Glenn Beck all the time....

I don't watch Glenn beck

I believe that the US goverment is behind some of these killings.

Refer to the Constitution. The US Military has NO business melding in the affairs of Mexico. We SHOULD kick their @$$ to kingdom come if they cross our border however.

What would work better is legalizing drugs, marijuana at least.

damn, hit the nail on the head

I agree with you 100%, prohibition only benefits criminal organizations.

We still have the poppy field in Afghanistan. (for now)

Fuck ,you might be right. I could be naive but I just want to believe that our Government would not be involved in a mass killing related to an on going Drug War.

The U.S. Military has a long history of direct military involvement in countries that have rampant drug problems and have asked the U.S for help. When I first enlisted, right after I finished my AIT and Jump my unit the 1-89th/10th MN was attached on temporary assignment to a detail of DEA agents working with the Columbian National Police in Columbia (of course). We provided physical security for the DEA agents when they went into the field to either raid or destroy a drug lab or cocca field. There was also a number of pilots from the Combat Aviation Brigade/10th MN transporting the whole lot of us in UH-60's. A number of Naval personal were also working with the DEA, operating Swift Boats (from I what I heard.) So, yes the U.S Military does get directly involved in other countries drug wars when the U.S government feels that country's drug war is directly endangering the safety of its citizens. It's rare but not unheard of, generally instead of getting directly involved the government provides Advisors, weapons, training and economic aid.

You are correct that does not make it right or Constitutional.

cant argue with that. The U.S Military and the U.S Government have a long history of acting outside of the rules of right and wrong.
