Fun story from a guy who should not have been telling this story. It was not publicized. A guy I had a loose work association with in the permitting process was a good friend of my dad's, known him since child hood. About 15 years ago he re-enlisted, got sick of public life. He's a Lt. Col, Army Ranger. He was drinking with my dad and told him this that happened since his went back to SpecOps. My dad told me when he was here this weekend and the Columbian dictator made their threats and condemnation about Venezuela.
I can't remember specifics, he said a name of an area. He was like, "Trump should tell her, remember <name I can't remember>". Apparently, per the Ranger on this mission, setup a 1 square mile perimeter in Cartel country. Killed everything and everyone. "Civilians" were given a chance to flee, but most didn't. Cartel men, women, some kids. No mercy, no exceptions, erased all life in that designated area.
That's how I think we should be handling these fucks.
