I know we don't like the u.s. military and are salivating to see them lose, but I'm not convinced the cartels alone would pose * as * much of a problem as people seem to be implying here.
The u.s. would almost definitely take some hits and losses and be dealing with long-term guerilla warfare to be sure, but even with cia funding I don't think the cartels are a 100% even match for an actual military with jets and whatnot.
yeah, I like to shit on the military as much as anyone but it's useful to remember what us strategic losses in asymmetric warfare look like and it usually involves hundreds of thousands of people indiscriminately killed
