| Mexican sailors in brawl in Poland |
| 2013-08-21 |
| Awesome brawl, BTW. Watch the video here Mexican president Enrique Pena Nieto condemned the brawl that took place between Mexican sailors visiting and a group of Polish youths in Poland, according to Mexican news accounts. The sailors were on a beach near Gdynia when they were attacked. In his condemnation of the brawl, President Pena came out in favor of the sailors whom he said were attacked. Other news accounts say the Mexicans started the problem. The sailors were visiting the Baltic sea aboard the sailing training ship the Cuauhtemoc. |

| #13 The Mexican Navy/Marines are actually bad ass. They are about the only ones you can count on to have what it takes to kick cartel ass time and time again throughout Mexico. |

| #7 Modifications of the mariachi music include influences from other music such as polkas and waltzes, the addition of trumpets and the use of charro outfits by mariachi musicians. |

| #6 #3 It all started with an argument over whether or not mariachi music is a kind of polka. I suspect it's more like is ranchera a kind of polka, but on tequila. |

| #4 The Mexican Navy is one of the two independent Armed Forces of Mexico. The actual naval forces are called the Armada de México. The SecretarÃa de Marina (SEMAR) (English: Naval Secretariat) includes both the Armada itself and the attached ministerial and civil service. The commander of the Navy is the Secretary of the Navy, who is both a cabinet minister and a career naval officer. The Mexican Navy's stated mission is "to use the naval force of the federation for external defense, and to help with internal order". The Navy consists of about 56,000 men and women plus reserves, over 189 ships, and about 130 aircraft. The Navy attempts to maintain a constant modernization program in order to upgrade its response capability. |
