You mean people actually get upset for being asked to do their jobs? The ones they are PAID to do? No....

Sure - remember some of those US Soldiers who complained and all of H. P. adored them for doing so?

The DEA should be abolished. They are a rogue state terror "agency".

The DEA needs to be stripped of its existence and those who wish to defend our country should go to the CIA, the rest should retire from this career of foolishness, in favor of something that actually makes a difference.

The Gov't should use the DEA funds to pay for the war we need to get out of and the one we never finished and should have. The WAR ON DRUGS IS OVER.

It would be advantageous of governments to try and educate against drugs thereby curving DEMAND. The war on drugs is a lost cause.

So how's this work? The CIA flies the drugs out, the DEA shoots at the CIA planes?

This is Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and "Air America" all over again.

When will we ever learn.
