Should the U.S. Military Destroy the Mexican Drug Lords? (legal, drugs)

[CAVA1990]

Should the U.S. send forces into Mexico to destroy the Mexican drug gangs?

And, how pray tell would they do that?

As for the question, no!

No,

We should legalize Marijuana, taking away most of the drug lords income.

[CAVA1990]

We've gone in there before for worse reasons. This seems like it would be a pretty good one. Probably makes more sense than sending them into Afghanistan.

It'd probably be a lot cheaper and safer if we just legalized it already...

[CAVA1990]

They sell more than pot and we're not going to legalize harder drugs. How will you feel when they come across and start kidnapping and killing innocent Americans?

If there's a demand, someone will supply.

You mean like in 1916 when Pershing invaded Mexico looking for Pancho Villa which resulted in Villas attacks on American cities? The one where Pershing was totally unable to lay a hand on Villa? Is that what you are talking about?

Probably makes more sense than sending them into Afghanistan.

Yes if it would work but it won't. The drug lords offer so much money the military cannot compete. Many military families are in dire financial straits. It would be too tempting for some military men and women to go for the money.

Then how would all of our politicians get their kickbacks and our addicts get their supply?

Gheesh.
