A YouTube channel, Green Beret Chronicles, presents an audio clip from another channel, Borderland, detailing how former U.S. Special Forces are allegedly leading the paramilitary wing of the Jalisco cartel.** The speaker in the clip, who claims to have past cartel connections, asserts that these ex-military leaders utilize American Special Forces tactics. **He suggests that the cartel's military wing has superior training because the U.S. military trains many Latin American soldiers who later seek employment with cartels due to lucrative pay.** The speaker also questions the effectiveness of U.S. military intervention in Mexico due to potential corruption within the Mexican government and the cartel's advanced weaponry. **The speaker is concerned with the high levels of corruption within the Mexican government and the likelihood U.S. military operations would be compromised.** The clip ends with a discussion about how cartel leadership is deep within Mexico, which would require any operations against them to go far beyond the border.
