In the Mexican Drug War

Live the life of a soldier fighting on the front line of the brutal war against Mexico's powerful drug cartels.

You can hear & see the sadness in that boys eyes and hear it in his voice when he talks about the death of his grandfather even though he tries to be a strong soldier 🪖. I feel bad for him he seems like a good kid

Omg. Luis seems like the sweetest young man. Working the hard way. 🥺

'my mama told me to do the right thing'... go mama. Raised that boy with good values, damn tough job..

[salvadorbravo]

I'm surprised the Mexican army allowed a reporter become a soldier and carry a gun. Those soldiers have a tough job. May God bless them

Thank you for giving us a view into reality. God bless those brave men and you for bringing this to light.

Luis is a great young man.
May the almighty keep him safe.

I took my daughter on a cruise when she was 13 we spent two glorious days in Cabo, but she refused to get off the ship in Puerto Vallarta. Truly made me sad because I love all of Mexico.

Even if this is two years old, and even if this only what the Mexican military/government wants us to see, I appreciate the efforts made, and hope that Luis and his family are fine.

My respect for those soldiers only deepens with exposure.

I too patrolled the streets of East Los Angeles with the California National Guard, when the cops beat up Rodney King. That British reporter had it easy compared with what soldiers have to endure. But, thank you very much for such a nice video.

I was literally in Acapulco in April of 2023 and had a wonderful time with my family on the beach. Of course I was with locals who visit often and had a great time. I definitely was alert the whole time but thankfully it was a wonderful trip.

the brave men and women who sign up to be a soldier in mexico are the REAL MVPs

Gone are the days of fun in the sun. Sadness in the young soldier speaking of his grandfather. Cartel mobsters are everywhere nowadays. I'll scratch this holiday destination off my list. Thank you for the update and the warning it brought. What a shame.

I was in Acapulco in February of 1992.
It was very nice then
Of course the poverty i saw in the Zocalo was depressing.
Eating at an outdoor patio spot, all the while homeless women with small children passed by
causing the appetite to diminish, and a few more Coronas took my mind off the misery there.

Always enjoy Reggie Yates' documentaries, he seems like such a personable chap.

I’ve found new respect for the mission of the Mexican army

To All Military, Thank you please stay Safe.
