Mexican drug cartels angered by a military operation in the country of its active drug and other criminals are fighting back. This powerful organized crime group and its alliance, also known as the Federation, is a cooperating group of major Mexican organizations trafficking in drugs (DTOs) also known as Mexican drug cartels and para-military units and bands that share resources such as drug smuggling, transportation routes and terrorist people both in Mexico and the United States, money laundering and paramilitary personnel trained in warfare equipment.
The Alliance was originally formed to combat the powerful Gulf Cartel. DEA agent said. But now, with the Mexican army operating along their trafficking routes its having a negative impact on your business and cost billions. According to drug control agents Mexicans who want to remain anonymous.
This dangerous alliance now includes organizations join led by some of the most feared leaders of the Mexican drug cartels in the country. These organizations together have the manpower and money to fight a real war with the Mexican government headed by Mexican President Felipe de Jesus Calderon Hinojosa. This alliance will now have access to RPG's, machine guns, bazookas, and a variety of other weapons such as advanced military weapons and communications equipment much more advanced than the Mexican army.
Since it began war, President Calderón has not made a call to the United States for help. It is quoted as saying "I think the U.S. government must do its part in terrible battle "and has made several appeals to U.S. President George W. Bush directly help against the drug cartels.

The drug cartel alliance is believed they are now: Juarez, Sinaloa, Los Negros, Tijuana, Gulf of Mexico (Los Zetas), Guadalajara, Sonora, Colima and drug cartels. And other posters have been invited to participate.
The board of directors of this alliance is believed to members heads of cartels: Juan José Esparragosa Moreno, JoaquÃn Guzmán Loera, Carrillo family, the Arellano Felix brothers, Ismael Zambada Garcia, Arturo and Hector Beltran Leyva, Edgar Valdez Villareal, Armando Valencia-Cornelio, and Ignacio Coronel-Villareal. And other strangers.
Even though some say that the sheriff's chief police and U.S. cities County bordering Mexico and the public who are not too worried and say they are well prepared for any type of event that can spread to their communities. Even recognizing that the Southwest Border Region is the most significant national-level storage, transportation and transshipment area for illicit drug shipments that are destined for drug markets in the United States. The DEA reports that the region is the finish for most major drugs smuggled into the United States, more illicit drugs seized along the Southwest Border than in any other arrival zone. Mexican DTOs have developed sophisticated and expansive networks of drug transport that extends from the southwest border in all regions of the United States. They smuggle large quantities of drugs illicit through and between ports of entry (POE) over the southwest border and store them in communities across the region. Most of the major areas metropolitan region, including Dallas, El Paso, Houston, Los Angeles, Phoenix, San Antonio, Tucson and San Diego, are important landmarks for the storage, and regional and national transportation and distribution centers. Mexican DTOs and criminal transport shipments of these drug gangs places to destinations around the country.
Homeland Security said that the threat posed to the nation Mexican DTOs operating in Mexico and the Southwest Border Region extends well beyond drug trafficking and other criminal activities, including border violence, trafficking of weapons, smuggling of aliens and terrorists.
Violence is often associated with drug trafficking along the border, however, law enforcement officials have noted a significant increase in the level of violence since the first the years. Much of the violence occurring along the Southwest border has been a result of conflict between the Gulf Cartel and the cartels in opposition to each other. From ordering troops to fight Calderon's Mexican cartels, the drug-related violence is increasing and appears to be changing a little bit of Mexican states within the countries bordering the U.S. According to the police and open source recent reports indicate that cartel-related violence remains common in a Mexican cities like few Manzanillo, Monterrey and others.
The escalation of drug-related violence occurring along the border among DTOs implies DTO increasing use of violence by paramilitary groups for implementation. Mexican DTOs use such groups to protect operations and drug shipments as well as send to those of rival drug cartels and law enforcement. Los Zetas, the enforcement arm of the Gulf Cartel may be the most technologically advanced, sophisticated and violent of these paramilitary enforcement groups. Some members of Los Zetas are former soldiers of the Mexican special forces and maintain expertise in the use of weapons heavy, specialized military tactics, sophisticated communications equipment, information gathering and counter-surveillance techniques.

Even before the arrival hosts much of the violence attributed to conflicts over control of smuggling routes has remained in Mexico, Some are widespread in the United States States. Murders and kidnappings linked to DTOs in Mexico, and the attacks against the agents of U.S. law enforcement are becoming increasingly common along the southwest border. Violence directed at law enforcement officers along the Southwest Border, primarily U.S. Border Patrol agents, often is intended to deter agents from seizing illicit drug shipments or as a diversion during operations smuggling drugs. In addition, the drug-related violence has expanded from Tijuana, Baja California Norte, Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, and Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, in other geographical areas of the border, including Agua Prieta and Cananea, Sonora, and Palomas, Chihuahua. American kidnappings, and hostage situations attributed to this conflict is increasing, especially in Dallas, El Paso, Tucson, Phoenix, San Diego and other cities of U.S. border and peoples.

I am preparing to enlist in the military. Army or Navy?
I will be entering an E-3, due to college. That is very important for me. Marine boot camp is damn bad really? Please be brief in their comments.
I would go with the military. Infants Marine may be comprised of individuals who look and act more difficult but that is because their trainers are psychos. I have a friend in infants Marine and while he was in boot camp I had to have his wisdom teeth removed and still had training the next day, despite the fact that there to stop every few minutes, then place your gauze because I was bleeding a lot. The horror did not end there. Then he contracted pneumonia and not let him go into nursing. Eventually, the cause of your tonsils are infected and swollen and still would not let him see a doctor. Finally got up the courage to call 911 himself and was rushed the hospital by paramedics. The doctor who saw him said that if he were not about one more day would have probably died of asphyxia due to swelling in the throat. My dad and brother are in the military. My dad loves it. My brother does not like to be enrolled and have to go to Iraq (which has now become) would be the same you can not find in the Marine Corps. In addition, the Army gives enlistment bonuses out better and has some more options to your MOS (occupational specialty military). Do not get me wrong, I respect no one in the army, no matter what branch. I just think that when it comes to training the Marines have some issues.
