These were not persecuted Americans. They were foreign narco terrorists on the way to invade and to kill our youth.
Hopefully, we will kill many many more of them. Like all of them.
The use of drugs have killed more Americans (and many young) than ALL our wars combined, 2023 for example saw 103,000 die. Estimated 1.1 million since 2000.
That would make 2023 the THIRD bloodiest war alone. Between WW2 and WW1 and TWICE as deadly as Vietnam at 53,000.
I think it IS a war we just don’t treat it like one.
