AP Associated Press – 2 hrs 14 mins ago

MEXICO CITY (AP) — The Mexican navy said Thursday it found bodies in the Gulf coast state of Veracruz that could include those of three marines and a naval cadet kidnapped by suspected drug cartel gunmen earlier this month.

Mexican drug cartels have kidnapped and killed military personnel before, but it remains a relatively rare occurrence.

I'm sure that the DoD could quietly send a very clear message.

4. This isn't our Marines, though, right?
I think it's Mexico's Marines. Cartels have had it pretty easy from us so far, and they only care about profits, so they aren't going to 'run into the bear cave and start poking the sleeping bears.'

5. I'm pretty sure they're not US marines
Kidnapped marines in Mexico would be the top story on the news.
