Chaplain Vincent Capodanno earned the title, "Grunt Padre," from his fellow Marines because of his experience in fierce combat. The U.S. government has awarded Fr. Vincent the congressional medal of honor. His fellow Marines have called him "a saint."
We need a GRUNT PADRE to go into Mexico to negotiate, bribe and get our Marine OUTTA there and back home.
You’re exactly right, with emphasis on bribe.
I know of a case many years ago where a fire chief did exactly that for a fireman who was in a Mexican prison for an accident that was not his fault. Money talked then and I imagine it still does.
