Well as much as I am against using the military as police men for the world, this is what I would like to see happen. It makes me a hypocrit but who gives a fuck. We need to send a platoon or two down to Columbia and waste all the fields of Coca leaves and Pot plants. Waste the druggies to. Columbia is pretty much with us against the drug war. I dont think they will put up to much fuss. Give them a few mil in releif funds and they will be all about letting us do a military campagin for a few months in their sector, EXSPECIALLY if it helps them deal with their problem. As Tom Clany wrote, and it is true, "Drugs are a clear and present danger against the welfare of the United States Of America and any effort to solve this problem shall be allocated."
