The US Southern Command should try to work with other US agencies, like the Peace Corps, for example, to perform this service. I don’t think that should be too much of a leap. I don’t think Costa Rica would have a problem with that either.

John,
We have meddled in the affairs of Central American countries since the Spanish American War, or even earlier if you count William Walker. Anyway, it’s okay to help but let’s keep the military out of it. Their track record is terrible. Oh, I served for 30 years in our armed forces so I do have a little knowledge on this subject.

Funny how things can get twisted, isn’t it? So, leave ‘em alone. They don’t want help? Then, don’t dare ask for help when a disaster strikes.

The military “helps”as a bribe to get its feet in the door and then it goes down from there. Read your history.
The “nasty gringos”are part of the narco-fiesta as WHERE IS THE END DESTINATION? usa

If you have been following the history of the military from 1970s to present you see all the horrible things they have been involved in-coups to break down countries, cocaine brought up into Miami by CIA, many times caught no time punished.
