Default Top Mexican Drug Lord killed

One of those news storys that makes you say "Holy expliciative" !

Quote:
CUERNAVACA, Mexico — Two hundred sailors raided an upscale apartment complex and killed one of Mexico's top kingpins in a two-hour gunbattle Wednesday, one of the biggest victories yet in President Felipe Calderon's drug war.

I looked through the story and could not tell whose 'sailors' these were.

I'll keep it simple.

Army in Afganistan

Navy in Mexico

And both will meet on a 100yd field to do battle.
