It would be nice to know how many of our casualties were people involved in criminal activity, but this is quite the body count:
Since 2011 some 220 Americans have been murdered in Mexico. That includes 40 in the city of Tijuana and its environs. In addition eight were killed in and around Mexicali, six in Nogales, 29 in Ciudad Juarez and 11 in Nuevo Laredo.
It's a war zone there, with violence and beheadings that would make you think this is part of the War on (Islamist) Terror if you didn't know better.
