    Which ones have successfully eradicated the drug trafficking culture in their countries? Mexico and Columbia have always been the traditional ones. Not sure how big drug industry is elsewhere.

        Interesting. Cops are corrupt in Mexico that’s why they’re using troops. Can they make troops cops too?

          Without having a way to deal with corruption, it is just inviting the troops to become corrupt as well.
