Narco Maritime Smuggling and US Response: U.S. Navy Drops The Hammer – Cartel Drug Lab Wiped Off The Map
[YouTube - Hyperspeed] While most of the world goes about daily life unaware, the United States Navy is fighting a war no one talks about. Drug submarines packed with cocaine try to sneak past Navy ships and helicopters armed with machine guns. These missions rarely make headlines and receive little public attention, despite involving billions of dollars linked to drug cartels. Why is no one talking about this? And what happens when the cartels get cornered at sea?

#5 What a novel concept. Using the military to defend our country.

Dunno how long those guys on the subs get to stay in jail but I hope it's a long enough to make others think twice about getting into the game.

#6 And I don't understand why the Navy can't make arrests. But if they can't, maybe they should just sink those boats.
