    I’ve had this book checked out for almost a year now called The School of the Americas by Lesley Gill. For those who don’t know, it’s a military institution in the US that trained all the fascist torturers, assassins, and future cartel drug lords (some of which are currently serving under Maduro…) in Latin America. Fun fact: Los Zetas, one of the most notorious drug cartels in Mexico that popularized the “militarization” of cartels was founded by special forces members trained by the US.

    The book seems interesting. It’s been endorsed by Michael Parenti (which I didn’t know until I read the back).

      Serving as in military service or as in a jail sentence?

      I find it hypocritical and ironic and infuriating that Amerikkka accuses Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela of supporting fictional drug cartels when the fascist states of Amerikkka have been doing that for many decades and arming and supporting them against socialist countries.
