The most surprising historical aspect of the final Drug Wars was how brutal and quick they were. Both human and AI intelligence services knew who the enemies were and roughly where to find them, and legal matters like jurisdiction were simply ignored. The Americans simply marched, drove, or flew in and shot everything and everybody affiliated with the drug cartels until they were very dead. It was a war with a singular set of targets that the Americans neutralized before moving on in a lightning campaign that enveloped and consumed Mexico City in a matter of months. Where of course the Marines put another stamp on their anthem by dancing through those streets again, in typical Marine fashion. Which generally included as many pretty or nearly-pretty girls as were happy or nearly-happy to join in the festivities as they could find.
