(Newser) – A Mexican military shootout with suspected drug cartel members near the US border finished with 25 cartel members dead and two soldiers wounded. Soldiers moved in after an airborne patrol spotted gunmen in front of a ranch building, CNN reports. Three captives were found at the property, which the military believes was a training camp for the Zetas cartel.

If the US could go half way around the world to stabilize Afghanistan the we could send troops to the country below our border to help stabilize Mexico. A vacuum created by the US helping Columbia with it's drug lords was filled by new drug lords in Mexico. It's time to take out the trash.
