Re: Beheadings from Mexico Again.....quite Brutal
The Zetas originally started out as a private narco security force made up of former Mexican special forces personnel. They later got into the trade themselves and even train their own recruits in clandestine boot camps. They aren't like military- they are military. A great deal of their success is due to that training and discipline. Scary organization.

Re: Beheadings from Mexico Again.....quite Brutal
So what could stop them then from possibly, say, going full-on military operations mode and just wiping everyone of their competitors out? They seem to have the training, the weapons, the intelligence, and the balls. Are the alliances they fight against too strong numerically as opposed to logistically. Apologies for all the questions, I find this whole thing fascinating as fuck. |

Re: Beheadings from Mexico Again.....quite Brutal
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Zetas Los Zetas (Zetas, Zs) is a powerful and violent criminal syndicate in Mexico, and is considered by the U.S. government to be the "most technologically advanced, sophisticated, and dangerous cartel operating in Mexico."[7][8] The origins of Los Zetas date back to 1999, when commandos of the Mexican Army's elite forces deserted their ranks and decided to work as the armed wing of the Gulf Cartel, a powerful drug trafficking organization.In February 2010, Los Zetas broke away from their former employer and formed their own criminal organization. |

Re: Beheadings from Mexico Again.....quite Brutal
That gurgling sound gets me every damn time. That's the risk you take when you play the drug game - play with fire and you're bound to get burned. I wonder what happened to the last guy, maybe he got lucky and just got a bullet to the brain. |
