  1. That white and gold AR is sick though not gonna lie. The cartels have some of the sickest looking guns imaginable. I mean, they're evil obviously but they do it in style I guess. Credit where it's due and all.

  2. These poor dudes. Like they talk about it like "Oh well it's just a job. Doesn't mean I have to like it, but it's my job." and "If I had other professional opportunities, I'd do that instead of this." You really think you can just submit a two weeks notice and resign from a job like this? It's blood in, blood out. There is no leaving once you're in. I believe them to a certain extent when they say that nothing bad ever happens to people who "don't deserve it". But who decides who deserves what? I think there's a certain level of naivete when it comes to this sort of thing, by the time you realize just how bad of a deal it really is, you're stuck. There's no way out of it, whether you win the lottery the next day or not. And if you're just a gunman, you're a pawn in this metaphorical game of chess. I wouldn't want to be El Chapo either, to be the boss, because you may just be another face in the crowd as a soldier but as the boss there's going to be higher bounties for you, whether they're law enforcement bounties or bounties from other cartel members. But you rarely see them out in the trenches fighting alongside the soldiers for a lot of reason. Their lives are more secure than yours in a firefight, and they will use you if you let them.

  3.  @Romeo-le2ez  That's sort of what I mean though I guess. If you know too much, you're a liability all of a sudden in their eyes. Why even risk letting them go? In fact I think the trainer dude in the video basically said "We don't let anyone go." I don't know, they are trying to relegate this career to a certain sense of normalcy but really it's not. The truth is I don't think many of them WANT to leave. It's a better living than they'd get doing anything else in their community from the sound of it.
