The U.S. government spent millions of dollars training Los Zetas to intercept drugs,...

Well, that was money well spent.

No. This is wrong.

The money was IMET, International Military Education & Training. This training is carefully funded and apportioned by the State Dept. The aim to turn nonprofessionals into professionals, to make the military more like the US military, to train them in professional ethics. Of the literally hundreds of thousands trained through IMET, you are bound to have a few go bad.

Much like concealed carry permit holders, a vast majority trained are careful, honest and legitimate. Some are not. Does this impeach the CC program?

Further, any given university cranks out thousands of graduates over the years and these graduates include mass murderers and rapists. Doe this make the university complicit?

No, on both counts.

This is an article written by someone that knows nothing of IMET, nothing at all.
