This is getting back to this idea of mexico is in a civil war or an insurgency or something. But they just do not understand it or will not fight hard enough. I mentioned before this idea of insurgency, counterinsurgency, stability operations. I remember during the battle days in iraq and afghanistan thinking at least 7000 miles away.
