Too Low.
Zetas Ping!
If you want on, or off this S. Texas/Mexico ping list, please FReepMail me.
Calling BS on this one. Low pay in the military doesn’t turn you into a drug cartel hit man. Someone must be promoting a new book.
Compares pretty well with my $81/month for U.S. E-1 pay in 1965.
Soldiers are also routinely denied access to rights such as family and medical leave while they are forced to work horrendous hours and humiliated by their superiors, said former Gen. Jose Francisco Gallardo, a military scholar.
Yeah; sounds just like what we had to "endure" for said $81, at boot camp.

$330 a month for a private doesn’t sound that low. Hardship alone won’t make a man desert and it certainly won’t turn a man into a mafia hit man.
What might cause anyone to desert would be needless humiliation, and hardship that was perceived to be for no purpose, and what certainly might do it would be the suspicion that your superiors have already themselves sold out.
I knew a fellow who worked with the Mexican air force as a civilian technician, and he says he always knew there were certain flights they should not ask questions about, certain cargos they should not be interested in. He was encouraged by his family to get out, because to stay, they believed, meant he would eventually be corrupted. Not by mafia, but by his own bosses. He eventually did get out, because he believed it too.
Mexico is devolving into Hamastan.
Yet another example of failure by the Mexican “Government”!
Wouldn’t happen if they were in Iraq fighting along side their so called ally.
