Job well done
I worked in Peru in 2005 and 2007 and I would have to say that the Peruvian Army AND Police really stepped up.
On my first trip, I was honored to work with one of the officers that was on the 1997 raid on the Japanese Embassy. He was a rising star but in a good way. Sort of a Peruvian Bull Simons that looked after his men and took the fight to the enemy.
On my second trip I worked with his younger brother out in Iquitos. He called his brother so I could speak to him while he was commanding special operations against the Tupac Amaru I think in Ayacucho (can't remember, we were looking at trying to get a mission there but milgrp...aka Frank H. didn't want us near there).
If those two brothers are the future of Peru's Armed Forces, they are in good hands and we will have an excellent ally there for years to come!
