#1 Bet that was an interesting firefight, I wonder how long the group was under observation and how many army types were embedded in the zetas and visa versa

#2 Barret (USA) doesn't make a submachinegun.

Berretta (Italy) does, often the P12s, maybe others, I don't care enough to look into it. Taurus (Brazil) makes the P12 and P12s under license. Commonly in use in South America. Also made in Asia.

I mention this only because I see many news items that seem to try to link US manufactured firearms to mexican criminal groups.

Insidious memes.

#3 Even though the camp is near the Monterry-Higueras highway, we'll swoop in just after breakfast, from the South in these new, very, very low and loud in these nifty US made UH-60 helos supplied by their feckless, gringo US Secretaries of State and Defense. That way they will hear us coming and run north. If you see no initial movement...go ahead and fire up an OP/LP, the gunfire should get them awake and moving. Oh also, when we RTB (return to base), make sure you tell the US DEA advisors we launched just before the sun came up, used the LZ 2 miles short of the objective as they recommended, and fully employed their "blocking forces" techniques. Lastly, take lots and lots of photos of the US made captured weapons please. If there are no weapons....use our stock US weapons photos as usual. Anyone finds dope, it goes in lift #4. Any questions?

#4 If Mexico can hang arms trafficking on the gringos, U.S gringo government money will keep flowing to fight crime in Mexico. Extension of "never let a crisis go to waste" south of the border style.

#5 the Mexican government vs. the Narcotraficantes?

You do realize this is a gang war, right? It's just that one of the gangs is a government.
