US Airman Shot Dead in Mexican Strip Bar

We don't send Airmen in as Under Cover agents... He knew it was off limits and probably was curious as to why, happens all the time overseas. There was probably a LOT if intel about the place to begin with, which is why any establishment is put on an "Off Limits" list. This is tragic but it happens. There will definately be more to come on this story.

the story does seem to make that implication....very astute observation

There is a long history of this. Sadly. But give the guy the benefit of the doubt.

Yeah well, they don't have this type of club in Mexico, thats more of a westernized thing.

plstyle - um. how is mexico less "westernized" than north america?

Well thudson, THANKS FOR ASKING; Territorial The West was originally defined as Western Europe. Ancient Romans distinguished between Oriental (Eastern) cultures that inhabited present day Egypt and Turkey and Occidental Cultures that lived in the West. A thousand years later, the East-West Schism separated the Catholic Church from the Eastern Orthodox Church. The definition of Western changed as the West was influenced by and spread to other nations. Islamic and Byzantine scholars added to the Western canon when their stores of Greek and Roman literature jump started the Renaissance. The West expanded to include Russia when Peter the Great brought back ideas from France. Today, most modern uses of the term refer to the societies of Western and Central Europe and their close genealogical, linguistic, and philosophical descendants, typically included are those countries whose ethnic identity and dominant culture are derived from European culture. The Western civilisation can be defined as at least North America, West and Central Europe, Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Uruguay, Venezuela and New Zealand. North America includes the U.S.A., Canada and Greenland (as part of Denmark). Widening this definition however invites controversy. This widened definition can include these countries, or a combination of these countries: Latin-America. Many countries in Latin America are sometimes regarded as Western countries, largely because most of its peoples are racially descended from Europeans (Spanish and Portuguese settlers mainly) and Natives. And thus their society operates in a highly Westernised way. Indeed, most countries in Latin America use their official language, either in Spanish or Portuguese. According to the CIA -The World Factbook-, there has also been considerable immigration to Latin America from European nations other than Spain and Portugal, (For example, from Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, etc. See Immigration to Brazil or Immigration to Argentina.). [1]. There are also many indigenous cultures with their own languages in Latin America........ And like it says in this snipet, Mexico can be included in what people call westernized, but this isn't usually the case.

lol - you get an A for the report @plstyle! :-) It's only not A+ because there was no bibliography included.

@Feglah - that's a real dumb thing to say and an even stupider sentiment to carry around. But having read some of your other quips about rape - I'm guessing you think of yourself as some kind of 'Shock Jock' right?! Like you can make everyone jump up and down with a deliberately polemic (look it up!) statement. *sighs* Hope that the moment you care about some one other than yourself - which you will do, life gets under the skin of everyone at some point, you'll not be too hard on yourself for the years of being a douche. Meantime - wow - I'm so shocked, I'm so appalled. How could you say such things....blah blah blah - validated yet?!? Twat.

dude, that's f*ed up. you obviously do not care for the men and women in the military who actually care about their country enough to join. it questionable why an airman was in an off-limits place though... either way, do not disrespect the military, they keep you safe at the very least.

Really Fegelah? Why don't you walk up to anyone in the military and say that to their face. Or are you just another chicken sh*t?
