I can believe it. In the amazing book “The Underground Empire” by James Mills, that came out in the late 1980s, a major Mexican drug lord by the name of Alberto Sicilia Falcon recruited a former Nave Seal named Michael Decker to set up his security and offensive capabilities. Quite a fantastic situation…
If you can get the book read at least that section. There’s a few different simultaneous stories going on at the same time. Big book.
This, with the Cartel recruiting private military contractors & mercs from other countries, should complicate Trump’s efforts at a Phoenix Program II to take the drug lord, Narco Terrorists out—Vietnam War, counterinsurgency, Low Intensity Conflict style…
That is, with extreme prejudice…
