'For every one of ours that you kill, we will kill ten of yours'

Um.  I honestly don't mean to make light of the soldiers' deaths, but uh...was this a retaliation for killing 0.9 narcotraffickers?

And I'm not going to pull this now, with a caveat I'll get to later.

In context, it's still funny, and isn't really mocking the Mexican Army in terms of fighting prowess or their successes and failures in their very real war on the narcotraficantes.  And certainly not in any more than I've mocked our own Army, which also happens to be at war, and in which I know people who have died.

Now, if you can tell me that one of the troops in that photo was among the casualties, I'll yank it in a minute.

Otherwise, I'd expect the "Crazy Frogs" as our resident spanish-speaker calls them, to cammie up, check their kit, and go break up some drug gangs.

Which will probably result in some more dead soldados.

It goes with the job.

Who's worse, the guy responsible for the dumb joke, or the guy too dumb to get it?
