Bottom line is that, although ostensibly a "good dude", he may have been involved in the type of criminal activity that will only bring dishonor to the Army Special Forces.
He would not be the first either. When I was posted to Mexico - on loan to another organization - we discovered two instances of this: one was an SF guy and the other a SEAL. The former had escaped prosecution in the US (fled to Mexico) while awaiting trial over the sale of US ammunition to a paramilitary group in another country and - when found - was working in the employ of an illicit organization. The latter was found to be knowingly providing tactical training to members of a ruthless drug cartel. Unfortunately, there is always that small percentage of guys who disparage the rest of the organization. They must be dealt with and we must not attempt to defend their actions, ever.

I know of who you talk about, I would have figured he would have gone to Bolivia! My understanding was he had ties in S. America. Mexico, eh? Was he extradited? I had just left Colombia before that happened, also, someone everyone regarded highly prior to it happening.
