U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM), which oversees the most secretive and elite military units in the country, has confirmed to The New Republic that some of its soldiers are currently training Mexican troops on Mexican soil.

Do they really think these heavily armed drug cartels, using primarily US military grade weapons, aren't planning to counter this obvious strategy? I take nothing away from the highly trained US forces - they are professionals. Mexican forces and police have been easily infiltrated in the past.
Right ok. Yeah my Grandfather was in the Utah 1st Cavalry at 16. He lied & got Moms permission to go w his brother. They took their own horses I think. But at the border to fight Pancho Villa.

It's nothing new.
But assigning them to border duty is.
Is a defined "mission area" at SOCOM.
But our SOF (SEALs, SF, AFSOC, etc) have never operated inside the US borders for those purposes.
Until now.
They look to be training Mexican troops in Mexico.\
But its the first time US troops have been deployed on US soil since WW 1 - and that was to fight Mexico.
We are ruled by really stupid people who possess a certain amount of animal cunning
