The wars and the millenial culture change haven’t been good for them. They are a very different organization than back in the 80s.
Individuals in that bunch have murdered a SF guy for knowing about their dope ring. There have been drug arrests among them. They have an openly homo one. One that turned tranny.
All of that would have been pretty unheard of in the old days.
They do have a problem, but it is the leadership and the overall American culture now.
Actually, they weren’t that good back then either: lost very badly during Grenada and Panama. (Got ambushed by drug dealers in Panama and got nearly wiped out and lost several drowned during Grenada and attacked the wrong house and got surrounded by Cubans and had to rescued)
“been pretty unheard of in the old days.”
Ya talkin bout back when a sgt. yelled at you and said —MAN UP ! ???
