How does what you believe have any relevance whatsoever?  I have no idea how you could make even a slightly educated guess as to what actually happened.

What?
It was reported that the traffickers were wear military/military-like uniforms & had a humvee...I can believe that it was corrupt soldiers helping traffickers.

I can just as easily believe that people dressed up as soldiers. 

It's not confirmed whether or not they're soldiers, according to the article.  I don't think we're in any place to judge whether or not they are. 

I didn't say they were, I just said I would believe it if they were corrupt mexican soldiers smuggling crap.

Mexico is corrupt from head to toe.

honestly +1

Since the beginning of the United States, military personnel have been involved in drug trading, weapons trading, slave trading, prostitution, assassination, mercenary acts, spying, counterspying, rape, theft, plunder, pillage, and even swearing.  People are people, there are those who do not care about others, and their nationality or profession does not equate to honor.  There could have been active duty military involved on the Mexican side.  But just as easily, there could have been a complicit Texas Ranger.  Do you think that's not possible?

No, I live in Arizona, one of these border states, and I really don't care whether you believe they are really soldiers.  I care whether they are soldiers, but I don't care whether you believe they are.

I agree.

Real or not this is a problem. We really do need more presence on the border... but didn't we try that and gaze into a rash of shit?

[/quote]I believe Falcon meant "who cares" in reference to the entire thing like the drug smuggling & the possible soldiers helping.

Actually I don't care either, and I live in Southern California. I mean lets face it, if you're hoppin' that border 9 times out of 10 you're coming here.

Looks like a big tunnel.  They should've waited til it was full of people & then napalmed them all, or at least dropped sort sort of gate some how right @ the US/Mexico bored & capture everyone on our side.

I think napalm could've been more fun though ;)

then we could have fed the cooked people to the starving children too?
