Just wish we’d do the same thing when the Mexicans fire on our helicopters. And for that matter we should be firing on Mexican helicopters that overfly our border and enter the US without permission too.

You mean we’re actually defending the border now?
And with firepower?
Obama & Lynch will be in a fit over this mess....

Has Obama invited them to the White House yet? Have Democrats celebrated their cause and signed them up as voters?

The helicopter crew returned fire, killing six suspects. No navy personnel were injured.
This is what should have happened when terrorists approached the USS Cole.

The cartels are very well armed. There’s huge money in drugs, and tons of Mexican heroin are being moved across the border on a steady basis.
I’m surprised they’d dare to fire on a Mexican military helicopter, though; the military has been coming down hard on the cartels and has been criticized by the left for doing so, but this is certainly going to make it harder even for the leftists to support the cartels.

The KIA appear to be from the numbnuts on the ground that thought that small arms could bring down a Blackhawk.

The cartels employ military personnel. Los Zetas in particular were former Mexican Army commandos.

If MX gov’t leaders hadn’t already been paid off or threatened or both, they would declare war on the cartels.
...well...except that the cartels are better funded....

The cartel members firing on the helicopter was an act of love.

Based on the article's photo, the "journalists" at Fox Latino wouldn't recognize a Blackhawk if it landed right on their news desk...
