also wouldn't the cartels be mostly fighting each other as well? i mean if anything they probably will make sure the other cartel bosses will get smoked first or if one cartel gets destroyed the others would try to make a power grab (then get smoked themselves_   damn, i think the american mob would be able to wipe the floor with them.   can you even call the mexican military, an actual military and not a glorified police force? i mean they do not have actual tanks and their airforce is in single digits and most of that are old fighter planes, with only like 20 actual jet fighters, hell last time i checked, they are using civilian trucks as combat vehicles.
