Two US Soldiers Were Caught Setting Up A Hit Squad For The Mexican Cartels
35 replies, posted
[quote]A former Army officer, and an active duty Sergeant were arrested with another man after plotting to carry out a raid on a Zeta drug house and kill its occupants as part of the new drug ring and arms business they tried to set up.
Jakob Rodgers at the Colorado Springs Gazette reports 1st Lt. Kevin Corley, 29, was discharged earlier this month and arrested Saturday in Laredo, Texas while finalizing details of the contract killing.
Sgt. Samuel Walker was also
Mug Shot
arrested and the third man, Corley's cousin, was shot and killed by federal agents.
Corley immediately confessed to putting together a four man kill team to raid a Texas ranch, steal 20 kilograms of cocaine and kill four people.
Corley first caught agents attention after they connected him to a picture of a stolen grenade in September. After establishing contact with Corley, agents say the Lieutenant offered to train cartel members on "room clearing, security and convoy security."
He also told them he could get them an array of military weapons that "could easily be stolen from military posts."
Corley was offering a whole array of services including putting together two teams, one to train 40 cartel members to carry out contract killings and another to hit the Texas ranch, grab the 20 kilos of coke, and eliminate the rival gang members.
In return for the ranch job, Corley wanted $50,000 and five kilos of cocaine worth about $100,000.
Reuters reports Corley also sold two AR-15 assault rifles, and five stolen ballistic vests, along with other equipment to DEA agents in Colorado Springs. It was then he told agents he'd purchased a new Ka-Bar knife to carve a 'Z' in the ranch victims chests and a hatchet to dismember the bodies.
Corley was assigned to the same active duty unit Walker was in at the time of his arrest: the 4th Brigade Combat Team of the 4th Infantry Division at Fort Carson.

I have nothing to say
If it was just them killing the bad guys, i would look the other way but did i read it as they were trying to set one up themselves?
Wait, they're being punished for attacking cartel members? I'd applaud them for that, not arrest them.

Fuck, people, I misread it, god.

Well the bad thing is that they are trying to start their own cartel in the process as well.

Seems like they were apart of another cartel or had an agreement with one.

yeah, what heroes.
I can't imagine their stay in prison will be pleasant after pissing off the Zetas, unless they go to military prison.
Great, now it's affecting our service members.

Ah, ok, I didn't catch that.
[QUOTE=ewitwins;35321937]Great, now it's affecting our service members.[/QUOTE]This case isn't the first of it's kind, but i'll be buggered if I can remember an earlier one off the top of my head :/

Maybe if they weren't selling stolen government property, giving training to criminal gangs or buying stolen drugs, and even then they'd deserve to get busted for vigilantism.
I would never - in a million fucking years and no matter the amount of money - ever get myself involved with the fucking [I]Mexican drug cartels[/I]. You have to be borderline-insane to want to get involved in that shit. It'd fuck you up for the rest of your life and you could make all manner of enemies.
[B]NO THANKS![/B] I like my head where it is right now: on my shoulders. Not decapitated and placed on my chest. God damn they're horrible :(

Hopefully for their sakes they do.

I wouldn't have to be an asshole if you were literate enough to read past the title.

Fuck, you have to be one of the worst goddamn posters on facepunch.

Yeah, somehow I'm not surprised. They probably would have gotten killed pretty soon by the Zetas.
Well this is saddening. I actually wanted to get into the special forces that deal with the drug cartel.

Holy fucking hypocrite.
'yeah, what heroes' isn't an asshole-ish remark in any way and fyi, if it was, you deserved it for not reading anything but the title. I really wish they just brought back the bad reading rating.

No. Look at what your doing

Doesn't look like this plan came together.

You don't really get the arguments behind soldier "prosecution" don't you. This case is not related to those arguments.
