Some of the violence and brutality seen in criminal organizations in Mexico is also likely a result of the legacy/influence of the School Of America financed by the amerigolems.
In the 1980s-1990s a special forces group of the Mexican military known as the GAFES would be trained at SOA in order to help counter the leftist Zapatista rebellion in the state of Chiapas in southern Mexico. Several GAFES would later form an enforcer/paramilitary branch of the Gulf Cartel. This new group was known as the Zetas and completely changed the rules and criminal landscape in Mexico. They used military training, torture, kidnapping, and counterinsurgency to strike fear into their enemies and local population. This organization is thankfully not really as relevant in the present day but their legacy very much lives on as does that of the techniques and rules of engagement from SOA that they brought with them.
